You put your pan on the stove and get it good and hot first and add only a very little bit of olive oil.
Cook the tuna on the first side 2-3 minutes then turn over and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side..
Cook longer if you want it more done. the 2-3 minutes on each side will still be fairly rare on the inside.
If you wanted to add a bit of flavor use salt and ground pepper, and use it to coat the top and bottom where you are searing it. The moisture of the tuna will hold the seasoning in place.
I like it VERY Rare, I only do 2 minutes tops on both sides, but it depends on your own tastes, so you may want to try to experiment, because you can't "un-cook" it! :)
(but you can always put it back on for another minute or less)

Why is tinned tuna in brine or spring water always much cheaper than tuna in oil?
because the water is much cheaper than the oil to produce and tuna in water is way more common so there is a higher demand which lowers prices unlike tuna in oil ( I prefer tuna in oil)

How much butter should you use instead of butter extract?
Butter is not a substitute for butter extract. Butter extract is a fat-free flavoring used when for some reason butter cannot be used. When butter is used, it should replace the fat in the recipe - shortening, oil or lard - and the butter extract will not be needed.
