Soften half a cup of unsalted butter at room temperature until creamy. In a bowl, combine with two minced garlic cloves and fresh herbs. Mix well and set aside.

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until sizzling hot.

Pat tuna steaks dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place seasoned tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until a rich brown crust forms.

Remove tuna steaks from the skillet, place on a serving plate, and spread garlic herb butter over each steak.

Let steaks rest for about 2 minutes before serving.
