5. For the Tuna:
6. For the tuna: Season tuna with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the horseradish, citrus zest, juice, and season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Brush one side of the tuna with Creole mustard. Press crust into mustard. Heat oil in a large saute pan. Add the tuna, crust side down, and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn over and sear until medium rare, another 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with beer glaze and serve with warm potato salad.
