  1. I have made this now a handful of times. Making it again tonight. I had never had tuna steaks before so hubby talked me into it and this was the recipe I used for my first time trying tuna steaks. We loved it! Serve over rice with some steamed broccoli.
     
  2. This was so easy to make and made for a very healthy light meal. I sprinkled lemon pepper seasoning over my tuna steaks as well as topping with the butter, which was totally delicious. I served my steaks over salad greens with peppers and avocado. We both loved this and I have saved it to my regular recipes to make.. I love tuna and this is a perfect way to serve it with no fuss. Thanks for sharing :)
     
  3. A simple and delicious recipe that will definitely be in my recipe box!
     
  4. This was really quick and delicious. I had them with grilled asparagus (which I actually put the extra butter on since I had way too much for just the tuna steaks); it was wonderful! Thanks for sharing, we plan on making this again all summer long!

<p>Update: &nbsp;I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. &nbsp;Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound&nbsp;poodle mix&nbsp;named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). &nbsp; I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. &nbsp;Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. &nbsp;Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter. &nbsp;[URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/?action=view&curren;t=f6fd3ae3.pbw][IMG]http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/th_102_0365-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Make Reservation Online Create your own visitor map *************************************************** [Reply]</p>
