Ingredients

Tuna Steaks

Dill Hollandaise Sauce

Preparation

Preparing the Tuna

1. Season the Tuna

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.

2. Sear the Tuna

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Dill Hollandaise

3. Prepare the Sauce

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and continue whisking until the mixture is thick and pale.

4. Add Butter

Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped dill and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

5. Plate the Dish

Place the seared tuna steaks on a plate and generously spoon the dill hollandaise sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
