  4.6 – 177 reviews  • Tuna

I can save a lot of time with this simple lasagna recipe. The entire family enjoys this dish. Try it this evening!

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  1. 1 ½ pounds fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
  2. 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Generously coat tuna steaks on both sides with Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking.
  3. Arrange tuna steaks in the skillet and cook until blackened on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until desired doneness is reached, 3 to 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-rare.

Great, easy recipe however cooking time is too long even with a thicker cut of tuna. Would recommend 2-3 min each side for truly rare blackened tuna. I used a hot cast iron skillet and it worked well. Served it over a great salad with foccia bread, quality organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar reduction.

I went by the recipe and the cooking time was too long. The tuna was not “blackened,” it was charred and burnt. We tried to eat it but not only was it burnt it was super salty. Not recommended.

This was really easy and really tasty- used cast iron skillet on the grill and it worked great. Served with black. Eans and rice and done cole slaw for a fast and easy dinner that looked and tasted great

Need only about 1.5 minutes per side. Really nice. I used the Cajun blend recipe on this site.

Definitely a 5 star rating here! Cooked the tuna on the grill after marinating it with the rub for a couple of hours. Two minutes each side…in our case the tuna was three sided, so six minutes total. Used a cast iron pan, so heated the pan on the grill til 500 degrees. Turned the heat down and brushed oil on the pan. Added the tuna, and seared. Hubby grilled it to perfection..medium rare. Enough left over to eat next day cold over a salad….absolutely outstanding.

Very easy and quick and very good! I didn’t have Cajun seasoning so I just did salt, pepper and garlic. Son says yum make this more!

will make this again.

My family loves this recipe. We make the Cajun seasoning from another recipe on this sight and put it together with this and it comes out great every time. Even my kids who aren’t big seafood fans ask for it We fire up the gas grill and cook it on a skillet outside and It comes out amazing!
Sandra Shaw
Loved this recipe and will definitely make again. Next time I make it I will have to reduce the Cajun seasoning, I was overly generous in coating the tuna and we were red faced after a few bites. Even with the over seasoning on my part, it was very good.

I used a homemade cajun seasoning from a previous recipe. It was so simple and easy. I will sear it for one minute on each side next time. I like my tuna steak rare.

Exactly like I get it in my favorite restaurants. I think a cast iron skillet is a must!

I rubbed the tuna steak with Vann’s Spices Blackened Seasoning and cooked as per recipe. This was scrumptious! My first time cooking Tuna. Very easy recipe and oh so good!

3 to 4 minutes seems way too long… I do mine for 30 to 60 seconds per side.
