Have you ever said, “I’m not much of a fish person.” And you may have thought “I definitely don’t like tuna.” My best friend, Elizabeth, and I both said these things before we created this delicious recipe. If you don’t like tuna, you will after trying this Paleo Tuna Steak recipe.
Why eat tuna? Tuna is a wonderful source of healthy fats, omega 3’s. Omega 3 fatty acids= anti-inflammatory. Don’t know what inflammation is? Read this post. Omega 3’s are SO important to include in your diet.
Kitchen Tip: Buy a cast iron skillet! I can honestly say it is the most essential tool when it comes to cooking, especially for new cooks.
Here are two great ones. I’d definitely call this an essential in cooking.

Okay…maybe I’ve missed something in this recipe or perhaps I’m just illiterate and stupid, so please help me to understand WHY an oven needs to be heated to 400 degrees if all you’re going to do is sear the tuna steak on top of the stove!?
There was no mention of placing the fry pan OR the tuna in the oven.
In the recipe it says if you like it medium or well, place it in the oven for a few minutes. It isn’t necessary, you can just pan fry it if you’d like!
Hi, please add more fish recipes, thank you, also rather not spend if I can use coconut oil instead of Ghee, will that work?
If you like a tuna steak more than rare do not eat tuna steak.
