Thick tuna steaks marinated in olive oil and lemon, seared on a grill pan and left slightly pink inside. A light, high-protein main course.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Cut the tuna into 4 steaks about 3-4 cm thick and pat them very dry with paper towels.
- 2
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper; brush over all sides of the fish and leave for 10 minutes.
- 3
Heat a cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 3-4 minutes, until it just starts to smoke.
- 4
Season the steaks with the salt right before cooking and lay them in the pan.
- 5
Sear 2-3 minutes per side so the centre stays slightly pink; add 1 minute per side if you prefer it more cooked.
- 6
Rest for 2 minutes, then slice thickly and serve hot.
