Tuna Steaks with Garlic-Herb Cream Sauce
Tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef or chicken options. Their firm texture and meaty flavor make them a perfect choice for grilling or searing. However, to elevate the flavor profile of this versatile fish, a flavorful and creamy sauce is the perfect addition. One such sauce that complements tuna steaks wonderfully is a garlic-herb cream sauce. This sauce is rich and velvety, with a touch of garlic and a medley of fresh herbs that perfectly complement the bold flavor of the tuna.
