Quick Tuna Steaks
Tuna steaks should not be cooked all the way through. Just a quick sear on both sides is all that's needed. We love this served over cauliflower rice with a big side of cooked vegetables and fruit. It's a quick, easy and impressive meal.
Equipment

Ingredients
- 8 oz tuna steak 1 inch thick
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey

- With 3 minutes of marinating time remaining, place skillet on stove and heat to medium. Allow to heat for 3 minutes.

Notes
If the steak is thicker than 1 inch; cook a little longer, if it's thinner cook a little less.
