Ingredients

• 4 pieces tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 cups crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil, stirring well to combine. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and breadcrumbs together.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cheese-breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the tuna steaks, covering them generously.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately, pairing with crusty garlic bread or a light salad if desired.
