Blackened Tuna

• Butter
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 4-6 tuna steaks
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 3/4 tsp. black pepper
• 3/4 tsp. white pepper
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

Directions:

Mix all dry ingredients well and rub on tuna steaks. Heat a cast iron pan until very hot. Melt butter and add the tuna. For 1/2″-thick steaks, blacken 2 minutes per side. For 3/4″ steaks, blacken 3 minutes per side.

You can cut a piece to check for doneness. It is better to undercook than to overcook, as the fish will continue to steam when removed from the heat.
