Instructions
- Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Notes
- For medium-rare tuna, aim for an internal temperature of 115-120°F (46-49°C).
- For medium tuna, aim for 125-130°F (52-54°C).
- You can prepare a marinade for meal prep by combining blackened seasoning with a little oil and lemon juice, then marinating the tuna for 30 minutes before cooking.
- This recipe is a great option for a healthy meal plan.
