Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Tomato Relish

How to make it

1. 1

   Pat your tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3. 3

   Carefully place the tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, or longer if you prefer it more well done. Remove tuna from the skillet and set aside to rest.

4. 4

   Add the cherry tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to burst and soften, releasing their juices.

5. 5

   Squeeze the juice from the lemon directly into the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir in the fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

6. 6

   Serve the seared tuna steaks immediately, topped generously with the warm tomato and basil relish. Enjoy your delicious and easy meal.
