Method
1) In a mixing bowl, mix the panko, 1/4 teaspoon tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon thyme. Set aside.
2) In a food processor, grind together the paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, 1/8 teaspoon rosemary and 1/8 teaspoon thyme. Add the mayonnaise and pulse until well combined. Lightly coat the tuna steak with the mayonnaise mixture and then coat the tuna steak in the panko mixture.
3) Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-heat. Add the tuna to the hot pan and sear on each side for approximately 2 1/2 minutes each or until golden brown.
4) Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine all of the sauce ingredients and reduce over low heat until thickened to a sauce consistency.
