Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the room-temperature butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped fresh herbs. Mix well and refrigerate to firm up while you prep the tuna steaks.
Pat the tuna steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Gently place the tuna steaks in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Place a tablespoon of the garlic herb butter on each steak just before removing them from the skillet.
Transfer the seared tuna steaks to serving plates and enjoy immediately.
