Description

A simple yet indulgent recipe for seared tuna steaks enhanced with a zesty lemon, caper, and parsley butter that captures the essence of coastal living.


Ingredients

  • 800 grams to 1 kg Fresh Tuna Steaks
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice

  2. Heat a large griddle or non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the steaks on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness, aiming for a pink center.
  4. In a small pot, combine salted butter, capers, parsley, and lemon juice and bring to a gentle bubble.

  6. Garnish with caperberries and lemon wedges.
