This was very good. I cooked two half-pound tuna steaks for 3.5 minutes per side and it came out done medium-rare. I cooked it in a cast iron skillet and did have issues with the smoke in the kitchen -I had the fan going on high I had to open the doors in the house to get the smoke out. For the spices, I used cajun seasoning mix from the store and added additional cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and a little white pepper. When it was done, I squeezed a little lemon juice on top. Very good.

Oh, this recipe is outstanding!! I make this often...no changes, it's great just as is. Usually I serve this with a mayonnaise-dill sauce, and a side of baked, spiced veggies...potato, pepper, and red onion chunks. Thanks, my family loves this!

Great! I overcooked a bit (we generally like tuna medium rare), but the sauce made everything OK.

There is nothing quicker and easier! Everyone loved it! I coated the fish earlier in the day and gave it another coat just before cooking. I have a well-ventilated cooktop and had no problem of smoke in the kitchen that others reported.

Simple but very delicious! Maybe reduce the cooking time just a bit. And it does make the kitchen very smoky (if you don't have a fan/vent), but it's worth it!

This was a quick and easy way to prepare tuna steaks. I only cooked the fish for about half the recommended time, and they came out just the way I like them...on the rare side. I did use sashimi-quality fish, and it was wonderful!

The tuna turned out good but I used McCormick's cajun seasoning and that was way too hot. My family didn't like that spice at all.

I'd never had tuna steaks, and this was SO wonderful. If it wasn't so expensive to fix I'd have it every week.

This has to be one of the easiest and best meals that we have had yet! From start to finish...this entire meal only takes 30 minutes. I served an herbed rice and black beans with the tuna! DH is still saying mmm, mmm, mmm. I also only cooked the tuna (approx 1 inch steaks) 1 1/2 minutes on each side, as we like it rare. Thank you for an excellent recipe and of course, a forever KEEPER!

Simple and delicious. The tuna blackened beautifully. I ommitted the butter and adjusted the cooking time to suit my tastes.

This recipe was very easy and very good. However, we don't like our tuna cooked for very long (3 to 4 mins on each side would completely ruin it for us) so we only cooked for 1 min per side which was perfectly done for our tastes, but we didn't get that blackened look. (Even though we preheated the pan with oil about 5 min in advance).

This is a great recipe, and I will make it again. I used the Cajun Seasoning recipe available on this website, and it turned out great. The only warning I have is that it will make your kitchen very smokey.

This was my first attempt at making any kind of fish and it turned out beautifully. I was a little stingy on the cajun seasoning because I wasn't sure how the fish would absorb it. But it tasted great and I'll add a little more next time. Thanks!

This is super easy, super tasty and makes my kitchen smell like the Caribbean! I tend to undercook the tuna just a little in order to keep the flavour. And it takes about 10 minutes complete.. the 20 minute estimate is very generous. Enjoy!

Overall, I liked this recipe and will try it again. (I would give it three and a half stars if we had that choice.) Our steaks turned our quite dry and that may be because they were fairly large or I should have cooked them more slowly. My wife loved it and would give it at least a four star rating. I do love tuna and thought about, for the next time, cubing the steaks into 1 inch squares and sautéing them in the mixture for a bit to make up for the extra dryness that comes with cutting up a piece of meat.

My whole family loves this recipe, even my very picky 9 yr. old. Like others, I sprinkle the steaks with Emeril's Bayou Blast seasoning (or a mix from a Paul Prudhomme recipe for greater heat). I always grill on a HOT cast iron skillet outside so as not to be overcome by smoke. I don't use olive oil, just butter. Quick, easy, healthy and delicious.

This was so simple and yet so good. I had to cook much longer, we like our fish cooked through. We used the leftovers for tuna salad which was also very good.
