Step 1

Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush lightly with olive oil on both sides, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 2

Use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan. Heat over high heat until it’s smoking hot, without greasing the skillet with oil—this helps create a perfect crust.

Step 3

Place the tuna steaks in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. The outside should be golden brown while the inside remains pink and rare–avoid overcooking or they will get dry.

Step 4

Remove from the pan and let rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy immediately, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
