- 8 oz tuna (2 fresh yellowfin steaks; or other steak like fish)
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (divided use)
- 1/8 cup onions (sweet, fresh, minced)
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh, or more to taste)
- 1/4 cup cream (heavy)
- 2 tablespoons capers (drained)
- Garnish: fresh dill weed and lemon or lime wedges
Steps to Make It
- Sprinkle both sides yellowfin tuna steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter, and swirl to coat the pan. Sear tuna steaks until golden brown on each side, turning only once. Do not overcook tuna. Remove and keep warm.
- Lower heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan along with the onions. Gently saute until onions are translucent. Add garlic and saute 1 additional minute, stirring often. Carefully pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Stir, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add heavy cream, return to a simmer. Cook another 3 minutes or so until thickened. Stir in drained capers.
- Pour lemon cream sauce over warm tuna steaks, and garnish with dill and lemon or lime to serve.
