Ok guys, give me something simple here. I'm craving a tuna steak tonight and I want some easy, but good recipies or just general techniques because I've never cooked my own before.
Also, what place in Lafayette sells a good tuna steak (preferably on the Broussard side of town.

Here's what I've done before. Take a good, thick steak(1.5 to 2" thick)and dip each side in a mix of 1 part dark soy and 1 part molasses (sort of a home made teriyaki).Best if you can marinate the steak for 15 to 30 minutes. Dust each side with toasted sesame seeds . Heat a black iron skillet on med high heat. Toss in the steak and cook about a minute to a minute and a half per side. You want the steak rare to med rae in the middle.Easy and good. I use the same marinade for venison tenderloin for the grill.

Got this from the board and they turned out great simple and easy.
Coat the steak with nice olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, and fresh cracked sea salt. Heat up cast iron skillet and get has hot as possible with a little olive oil. Right before you put the tuna on the skillet put a slab of butter on each side of the steak, 2 mins each side and perfection. Good luck

I just use salt, pepper, and olive oil, then sear them on a very hot grill.
No idea where to buy it, but I would guess Fresh Market in RR would have it.

Can't go wrong with salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Maybe 60 seconds at most on each side depending on how thick the steak is.
I've tried this before and it turned out tasting great.
½ teaspoon of Japanese horseradish, wasabi powder,
¼ cup of soy sauce, and
½ cup of honey
Just combine the 3 and marinate the steaks for about 30 minutes then sear them on the grill for about 1 minute. The wasabi adds a great element to it.

I've done honey and Tony's seasoning on the grill and it was fabulous.

Thanks guys.
These all sound pretty good. I figured the simpler the recipie the better the steak would taste.
I see that a black iron skillet seems like a popular way to cook tuna. This may sound crazy, but could I use a George Forman grill if I don't have a skillet?

You want a pretty high temperature when your cooking tuna so I don't know if a george foreman is going to give you the consistant heat you need.

All of the methods suggested sound fine. For a side make some wasabi mashed potatoes!!!

I would recommend using an oil with a higher smoke point like grapeseed or canola over olive, especially if you choose to sear the tuna in an iron skillet. These oils are also flavor neutral and will not conflict with Asian flavors if you decide to go that route.

Don't cook it. Marinate it in a little sesame oil and soy or teriaki sauce. Slice thin or chop. Great with avocados. A little salt, pepper and olive oil.

Bingo. Only add a little wasabi to the mix.
Also serve over mixed baby greens although without is just as good.
