Spicy Rub for Seared Tuna Steaks pairs fresh tuna with a bold, aromatic blend of lemon zest, coriander, ginger, black pepper, and a hint of cinnamon. The steaks sear quickly to a browned crust while staying tender and pink inside, offering bright citrus notes and warm spices. Great for a quick weeknight dinner, especially alongside grilled vegetables or quinoa.
