1

Mix papaya, bell pepper, and onion in a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and hot chile paste; toss to combine. Refrigerate the salsa until ready to serve.
2

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3

Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth. Spread the nuts on a shallow plate.
4

Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Dip the tuna steaks in the beaten eggs and let the excess run off. Press them into the macadamia nuts until evenly coated.
5

Grill the tuna steaks on the preheated grill to your preferred doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Serve with the papaya salsa.
