ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX Tuna steaks are easy to make in a skillet, oven, or grill. To make tuna steaks in a skillet, brush both sides of the steaks with melted butter, then sprinkle them on both sides with a store-bought or homemade blackening seasoning. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Use tongs to place the steaks in the hot skillet in a single layer so that they aren’t touching. Cook the steaks for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes on each side, for a total cooking time of 3-4 minutes. The steaks are done when they start to turn golden-brown and flake easily around the edges. Let them rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving them. If you’d rather cook the steaks in the oven, brush them with a mixture of 4 tablespoons (59 mL) of teriyaki sauce, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of grated fresh ginger, and ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt. Bake them in a foil-lined baking sheet for 6-8 minutes at 450° F (232° C), then let them sit for 5 minutes before serving them. Craving grilled tuna?
