Ingredients
- 2 pieces tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Make sure the steaks are well-coated. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preference.
Step 6
Remove the tuna steaks from the pan once cooked to your liking and let them rest for a minute or two.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy your sugar-free seared tuna steaks with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
