Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil, stirring well to combine. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and breadcrumbs together.
Sprinkle the cheese-breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the tuna steaks, covering them generously.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, pairing with crusty garlic bread or a light salad if desired.
