Well, according to people who attended the feast, anyway. The source is
Platina's _On Right Pleasure and Good Health_.
"Season fresh tuna with ground pepper, cinnamon, and coriander, onion
cooked and cut up, vinegar, honey, and oil. "(X.2)
For a sauce, I toasted coriander seeds in a pan and then crushed them
coarsely. I combined roughly equal quantities of honey, olive oil, and
red wine vinegar and then stirred in the coriander. I sprinkled tuna
steaks well with cinnamon and pepper and seared them with a little oil
in a fairly hot pan, leaving them somewhat pink in the centre. To
serve, I sliced the steaks into strips and topped them with some sauteed
white onion and poured a little of the sauce over it.
Extra delicious with fennel salad.
