Blackened Tuna Steak

Ingredients

• Fresh Tuna Steaks
• Butter or Margarine
• Cajun Seasoning

Instructions

1. Cut tuna steaks to 3/4" to 1" thickness.
2. Soften 1/2 stick of butter or margarine.
3. Pre-heat a heavy cast iron frying pan.
4. I prefer to place the pan on an outdoor charcoal grill.
5. It gets hotter and the blackening process creates a little smoke.
6. Brush softened butter on each side of the tuna.
7. Sprinkle on McCormick Cajun Seasoning or pre-mixed blackened fish
8. seasoning.
9. Cook over very high heat for about 2 minutes per side.
10. Best when cooked to medium doneness.
11. I found this easy recipe to be superior to grilling over direct heat which
12. tends to dry out the fish.
13. The butter and seasonings quickly harden to a crisp coating sealing in
14. moisture.
15. Great on a soft kaiser roll with lettuce and tomato.
