Most recipes for tuna steaks are grilled. Here is one of those recipes –
4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 crushed garlic clove
3 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper
Mix together: soy, sherry, lemon juice, zest, garlic and olive oil.
Marinate the steaks in this for up to 1 hour, turning frequently.
When ready to cook, lift from the marinade and sprinkle with black pepper.
Heat a grill pan or a frying pan (not using any oil or butter) until really hot and sear the steaks for several minutes on both sides to your likeness but do not over-cook them.
Or cook them on the barbeque.

A good quality tuna steak can literally be eaten raw, so cooking depends on your tastes.
My favorite way to prepare tuna is to coat it with crushed black pepper, cayenne, or Cajun seasoning and grill it until the is the outer layer is cooked, but the inside is still pink.
If you cook a tuna steak all the way through until it gets that uniform gray color, you might as will just open up a can of tuna fish.
