Review/Suggestions:

• It had been a while since cooking tuna steaks and I forgot you don't need a large steak for two people!  Needless to say, if you buy a steak this size, cut it in half and you will have dinner for two.
• If you don't want to use flour to make your white sauce, you can use cornstarch instead.
