Instructions

Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large griddle or non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat.
Cook the steaks on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on their thickness, ensuring a warm pink center.
In a small pot, combine salted butter, capers, parsley, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle bubble.
Pour the bubbling caper and lemon butter over the seared tuna steaks to serve.
Garnish each plate with caperberries and lemon wedges for added flair.

Notes

Let the tuna rest for a few minutes after searing for improved flavor and tenderness. Use a food thermometer for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of around 125°F for medium-rare.
