Fish Fridays: Tuna Steaks with Hot Chile Pepper Sauce

This is one of my favorite fish recipes.  My dad fixed this recipe for our family a few summers back and it’s been one of our regular menu items ever since.  It takes about 20 minutes from fridge to plate to make .  The chile pepper sauce is a dipping sauce so can be omitted for those who may not like spicy foods.
