So I know yet again this is late and I have all sorts of reasons I could give you but I won't cause I know you're not interested.

As I'm not the best at cooking and don't do it all that often I thought I would just show you one of my favourite foods. Tuna Steak!

Now I normally eat my mum's own and she doesn't really have a recipe for that so I found this one online which looks pretty similar and just as yummy!

*Just as a disclaimer, all credit of this recipe goes to foodrepublic.com and I in no way claim this as my own.*
