To make tarragon tuna steaks, fresh tuna steaks are marinated in a mixture of tarragon, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, infusing them with the herb's aromatic and savory flavors. The tuna steaks are then seared to perfection, creating a crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside while maintaining a tender and juicy interior. The result is a dish that is not only visually stunning but also incredibly tasty, with the tarragon complementing the natural richness of the tuna. Whether you're a fan of tarragon or just looking to try something new, tarragon tuna steaks are sure to impress and satisfy your taste buds.
