Ingredients

• 2 pieces fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

In a flat dish, pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the tuna is marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and pat them dry again slightly. Be careful not to remove all the marinade.

Step 6

Place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Ideally, the steak should have a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Once seared, remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.

Step 8

Sprinkle the tops with fresh thyme leaves and lemon zest before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of salad or vegetables.
