Pan Fried Thyme Tuna Steaks With Lemon Butter Served With Mash

This dish should take as long as it should take you to make mash potatoes!
I used to cook this for Adam after a long day at work and the last thing you want to do is to hang around in the kitchen but you still want to have a lovely and healthy home cooked meal.

Ingredients

Tuna Steaks
Soy Sauce
Lemon Thyme (optional)
Lemon
Butter
Parsley (optional)
Potatoes

Boil some water for the potatoes.
While that is on, marinate tuna steaks in soy sauce and leave in fridge until you are ready to use
You can add garlic if you wish. You can also not use the soy sauce and pan fry it in olive oil.

Peel potatoes, then cut into little chunks (makes it go faster). Boil it in salted water.
When done, mash it how you mash it
Sometimes, I add spring onion and/ or garlic to it
Sometimes, I add cheese, like cream cheese or parmeasan
Sometimes the best way is just to add butter and milk

Heat frying pan. Get it quite hot but not too hot that the oil is steaming.
Fry the tuna with thyme (which is optional) this gives a lovely lemony flavour.
One minute on each side
Rest

Using the same pan, add some butter to melt and a squeeze of lemon. If you want, you can add a little bit of chopped parsley and/or garlic. Pour over the tuna.

Serve with green beans or salad or anything you want
Add salt and pepper on the table.

This is also great with rice. Pan fried with just soy sauce.
