Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by preparing your ingredients for the Seared Tuna Steaks with Garlic Herb Butter. Mince 2 cloves of garlic finely and chop about 2 tablespoons each of fresh parsley and chives. Zest one lemon using a microplane and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in your chopped herbs, letting it become aromatic.
  4. Carefully place your seasoned tuna steaks into the hot skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for a rare finish.
  5. Once cooked to your liking, remove from heat and stir in the freshly zested lemon to the garlic herb butter.
  6. Gently transfer the tuna steaks to a serving platter and spoon the garlic herb butter sauce over the top. Serve with sides of your choice.
