Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 ounces each) tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and drizzle with fresh lemon juice and olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each tuna steak and gently rub to coat.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking.
Sear the tuna steaks in the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For rare, the center should remain pink.
Remove from the skillet and let the steaks rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
Serve immediately with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
