Something else. Great recipe. You can also make on the barbecue by using a cast iron pan. Heat the pan on medium heat for 15 minutes. Halve the butter/oil and pour a small amount in the pan. Season tuna steak and put in pan. Smoke will be intense when you first put steaks in. Pour rest of butter/oil on steaks then turn. Cook for same amount of time as original recipe calls for. Steaks will be nice and blackened. I also use this recipe for swordfish. Very delicious too. - 15 Sep 2008
This recipe is very simple and takes little time. The only thing you need to watch out for is buying a cajun seasoning without salt. Because of the generous amount of seasoning you will put on the tuna, the salt content is extremely high if you choose a cajun seasoning with salt. Just a tip for people who need to watch their salt content. - 15 Sep 2008
I mixed my own seasoning and this recipe was still easy. Cooked to perfection. - 14 Jan 2011
