How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and first amount of olive oil in a food processor. If you don’t like spicy flavors, you can deseed the jalapeno or halve the jalapeno. Pulse until you get a loose, even mixture.
Step 2
Prepare 2, 4-oz. tuna steaks by sprinkling the salt and pepper on the tops of each. Then, flip the steaks over. Use the back of a spoon to spread the cilantro mixture over all exposed edges of the tune – tops and sides.
Step 3
Heat the second amount of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet on medium-high heat. Place the tuna steaks in the oil with the salt and peppered sides down. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the tuna is to your preferred doneness.
Step 4
If there is extra jalapeno-lime sauce, you can serve this with the tuna. Enjoy!
