Preparing the Tuna Steak

Begin by preparing the steaks. Remove the steaks from the packaging and pat them dry. Mix together the garlic powder, paprika, pepper, cayenne, and salt. Rub the seasonings onto both sides of the steaks. Place the steaks in a shallow dish and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
