Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Coat your tuna steaks with olive oil and season all over with salt & pepper, garlic powder, and herbes de provence.
Place the sliced lemons on a small baking sheet and spread them around. Then, place your tuna steaks in the center, making sure no lemons are underneath.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Tuna steak should still have a pink center with an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) when done. Serve immediately.
Notes
The USDA recommends the internal temperature of tuna steaks be 145°C (63°C) before eating. However, medium-rare is the chef-recommended level of doneness which sits at around 125°F (52°C).
Letting your tuna steak sit out for 30 minutes before cooking so that it can come to room temperature will help your seafood cook more evenly.
