Tuna steak recipe?

Personally, I like it cooked on the grill and use the same basting liquid I use when I have redfish on the half shell.

I melt butter, add some minced garlic, green onions, parsley, lemon juice and a bit of Worcestershire sauce and let that simmer to blend well.

Get the grill hot, hit the steaks with a bit of olive oil so the seasoning sticks and the steaks don't stick to the grill. I dust them with a bit of sea salt and black pepper and hit them with the basting liquid as they sear.

I only cook tuna to medium rare at most and get some nice grill marks on the outside. Cook it too long and it gets too dry for my liking.

I would also make some spicy tuna hand rolls. Easy to make, lots of recipes online.

I prefer to heat up skillet, light coat of EVOO or sesame oil. Sprinkle tuxedo sesame seeds (black & white) on top of tuna. Sear tuna steak on all sides until YOUR desired eating texture. I like my tuna rare with a 10-15 second sear.

That's the way I like mine although I probably cook each side a bit longer, maybe 1 minute but I judge by watching how much its being cooked, leaving it pink (raw) in the middle. I will make a burger w/ a ginger/lime mayo and fresh basil & mint or tacos with the same mayo and basil mint combo.

I've tried cooking it over a charcoal starter chimney, on the grill and smoking it and all are good but I think pan cooking it is best.

Shouldn’t need much of a “recipe”, kinda like cooking scallops- less is more. Just your favorite seafood seasoning, lemon, olive oil, and I do like adding the sesame seeds.

Stupid question, but how do you keep the sesame seeds from burning or I guess what temp is the skillet?

If you are just searing a 1-1.5 inch piece then I’ve never had a burned issue, so honestly don’t know. You want it very hot. I don’t like it blackened hot like smoking, but damn close.

Make rice with lime and cilantro added.

Sear tuna seasoned with salt and pepper.

Slice avocado and pile tuna and avocado onto cilantro lime rice.

Drizzle over the top with a soy glaze. Or some teriyaki if you are feeling lazy.

“Got Blaze”. You read my mind, as that looks perfect!
