My favorite animal is steak.

 

Found in the cold waters of the Pacific, Tuna Steaks are a favorite among seafood lovers. These firm and flaky seafood steaks have indeed a meaty flavor that's sure to satisfy.

Moreover, tuna steaks are versatile and easy to cook.
They are an especially good candidate for grilling during the Spring season, and a tasty almonds-and-capers sauce (inspired by un pinguino in cucina) keeps them moist and flavorful.

Try them, promise you won’t miss beef meat steaks!
