Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, place the tuna steaks in the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. For rare, a quick sear is sufficient.
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Serve the seared tuna steaks topped with the sautéed tomato and olive mixture.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
