Learn how to perfectly sear tuna steaks for a quick and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tuna steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the tuna steaks completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides of the tuna steaks with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet.
  5. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side for rare, or longer for more well-done tuna.
  6. Remove from skillet and let rest for a minute.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use sushi-grade tuna.
  • Do not overcook the tuna; it should be slightly pink in the center for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can customize the seasoning with garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs.
