  4. Season both sides of your tuna steaks with salt and black pepper.
  5. Carefully place the seasoned tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Remove the seared tuna from the skillet and let rest for a minute on a cutting board.
  7. Drench the resting tuna steaks with the garlic herb butter from the skillet before serving.
