  great dish and easy. just be sure to season the steaks really well before cooking.. this is so important with tuna and to always undercook slightly!!!!

  There's 125g of butter in the recipe, 62.5g per person; you could easily halve this and cut back the calories significantly.

  This was very easy to do and worked well. However, there was far too much butter for the number of people, as Heidi commented. I was cooking for 4 and used about 140g - even that was a bit too much really. I will use it again.

  This was very easy to do and it tasted really good. However, as mentioned already, the recipe calls for too much butter. I used 80g for 2 people and even that was far too much. I'd say you only really need a tablespoon of butter per person. I will most certainly use the recipe again though.

  The amount of butter above is by no means meant for just the two tuna steaks - if you read it fully it clearly states that two or three discs be cut off the roll per person and that the rest can be stored for up to a week - It's really not as heart-attack inducing as you might think at first glance!

  it does say to use "2-3 discs" of butter, not the whole 125g as stated in the recipe :)

  Extremely simple and delicious. Served this with spinach instead of broccoli and some jersey royals, will try the left over butter on steak at the weekend, suspect it will be excellent

  Me and my partner are huge fans of Tuna Steak and so are always looking for different things to do with it. This was really easy and tasted nice enough but we didn't think it added very much. Porbably would add more chilli next time - but then we do like our food quite hot :) All in all was very nice and the rest of the butter is in the freezer for the next time!
