Super Easy Blackened Thai Chili Tuna Steaks

February 10, 2019 By Adam Leave a Comment

Super Easy Blackened Thai Chili Tuna Steaks

Easy blackened Thai chili tuna Steaks are way easier than I thought they would be.  I thought blackened sounded technical when I first heard it until I tried it and realized it’s easy.  You can buy tuna steaks for like $5 at somewhere like Aldi.  You take them out of the package and rinse them, rub in the powder, blacken them on each side and roast them in the oven for 5 minutes.  It’s that easy, I learned about it from another blog like this one.

  4.   Heat a large ovenproof skillet like a cast iron skillet at high with a little oil or butter until it smokes, a few minutes.
  5.   Blacken the tuna on each side for a minute or 2 until slightly blackened with the rosemary if you like that.
  6.   Place the skillet in the oven and roast for another 5 minutes for medium-rare or a little longer if you are squeamish about the red coloration.
