Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 whole Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Rub each tuna steak with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

Step 5

Place the tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preference). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to avoid burning.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped parsley and squeeze in the juice of one lemon. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Return the tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon the garlic herb butter over them to coat evenly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
