Ingredients
=== SPICE MIXTURE ===
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
=== TUNA ===
2 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
4 tuna steaks, abt 2/3″ thick - (8 oz ea)
Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne pepper on a plate. Rub butter over tuna steaks. Press tuna steaks into spice mixture; gently rub spices onto fish.
Heat a large heavy ovenproof skillet (cast-iron works great) over high heat for 2 minutes or until skillet smokes. Cook tuna steaks 1 minute on each side. They will make some smoke, this is normal. Transfer skillet to oven and roast fish 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
