We served this up with our Jicama Salad. The Tuna roasted in the herb oil is now my favorite way of cooking Tuna Steaks. The flavors are so wonderful and the tuna is—em em the best!

• 2 pieces of fresh Tuna Steak about 1 inch thick
• herb oil with garlic - see recipe here.
• kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

1. Prepare your herb oil with garlic ahead of time and pour into a freezer bag. Fork your tuna steaks on one side and place them in the bag with the oil. Let sit in the oil in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°.
3. Preheat an oven-safe pan over high heat. Add 5 tbsp of herb oil with garlic to the pan from your freezer bag. While the oil is heating, season both sides of the tuna steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, place the Tuna Steak in the pan. Cook over high heat for about 2 minutes. Flip the Tuna Steaks and cook over high for another 2 minutes. Baste the fish with the herb oil using the oil pooling in the bottom of the pan or by adding more if there isn’t enough in the pan. After a minute, place the pan into the 350° oven and bake the fish for another 3-4 minutes, until the Tuna Steak is just cooked through and still moist and delicious. Cook times may vary due to the thickness of the steaks.
