1
Prepare the Tuna
Begin by patting the fresh tuna steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2
Season the Tuna
Rub the blackening seasoning evenly over both sides of the tuna steak. Make sure it is well-coated for maximum flavor.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Cook the Tuna
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned tuna steak in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a dark crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side for rare to medium-rare doneness.
5
Rest
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6
Slice and Serve
Slice the tuna steak into tips and serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
