This blackened tuna recipe is very simple but it's my favorite way to have tuna. Seared fish steaks are a Cajun tradition.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds fresh tuna steaks , 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 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.

This is the speedy, easy version of boeuf Bourguignon, the classic French slow-cooked beef dish. Delicious over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Leftovers taste great as well - just reheat on the stove.

Quick and easy. Be ready to try to hold the relatives back. I usually have to make a double batch. I don't know where I got this recipe but its been a favorite in my home for over 30 years.
Hot and Spicy Pecans
These spicy pecans aren't too hot, but you can leave out the red pepper if you like them milder, or increase it to taste. These make a great snack or appetizer for the holidays, or anytime.
