Tuna Steaks with Garlic-Herb Cream Sauce
Share recipe
Description
Tuna steaks are dressed up with a dreamy garlic-herb cream sauce. I served mine on top of wilted spinach.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 (5 ounce) tuna steaks
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup fat-free half-and-half
- ¼ cup garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese (such as Alouette®)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Directions
- 1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in the hot skillet. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper and place in the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a serving plate and keep warm.
- 2. Add half-and-half and spreadable cheese to the same skillet and stir until incorporated. Add lemon juice. Set 2 tablespoons of the sauce aside. Add spinach to the remaining sauce in the skillet and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 3. Divide spinach between 2 plates and place tuna steaks on top. Serve reserved sauce over the steaks.
