- 2 fresh tuna steaks - about 4 ounces each
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil + 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
-
Dry each tuna steak with a clean paper towel. Brush each one with some olive oil on both sides.

In a small bowl mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper together and rub it all over both sides of each piece of tuna.

Heat a cast iron pan to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan. Once the butter is melted and the pan is nice and hot, place the steaks into the pan and cook them for about 2 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak or 3-3.5 minutes per side for a medium-well-done tuna steak.

Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon and your favorite sides.
