Seared Tuna

Hey everyone! It's not too often that I post here--I leave most of that up to my beautiful beloved bride--but I figured I'd post a link to tonight's dinner. I picked up a couple of nice, thick tuna steaks at Food Lion this evening, and cooked this recipe from Recipezaar. It's a pretty quick-and-dirty recipe... a few minutes to melt some butter and put some Cajun seasoning (we used "Cajun Foreplay") on the tuna, and then 3 minutes to cook the tuna (2 minutes the first side, 1 for the second). As a sauce, I served it with a mixture of mayonnaise and "Raytheon Gunpowder" (a dried jalapeno powder I got from Raytheon in Arizona), in place of the suggested wasabi sauce.

It was quite good! I've always loved how similar a good tuna steak is to a no-kidding beef steak... but better! This one's no exception. The center is still red and soft, while the outside is seared. I'm sure a wasabi sauce of some sort would be perfect.

A note: pay attention to the directions when they say that cooking it indoors will produce a lot of smoke. Cook it on the grill instead!

And--shameless plug--visit Legendary Truth if you get a chance.

God bless!
