Tuna Steak Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will be used to marinate the tuna steaks.

2. 2

   Marinate the Tuna

   Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Potatoes

   While the tuna is marinating, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and toss with butter and fresh parsley.

4. 4

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a separate pan, steam or sauté your choice of seasonal vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Cook the Tuna Steaks

   Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tuna from the marinade and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it well done.

6. 6

   Plate the Dish

   Serve the tuna steak alongside the buttered potatoes and the sautéed or steamed vegetables. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
