Recipes for tuna steak?

i like to use sesame seed oil.

i marinate mine in olive oil, soy sauce, black pepper and lime juice. get your skillet hot, put it on there a few minutes on each side.

if it is good and fresh do NOT marinate it. a little bit of olive oil and soy sauce just before you put it on and sear is very hot. don't ruin a good piece of fish putting stuff on it

I think I learnt that from Alton...

But that's one of the rules...right?

Alton Brown's Chimney Tuna Loin

And never use olive oil with tuna. It's better with an oil that is either flavor neutral or at least flavor complimentary with a higher flash point.

quote:

---

cut it into cubes, marinate it in vodka for no longer than fie mins in the freezer. Take out of vodka. serve it as a cocktail, (similar to shrimp cocktail) in a bloody mary W/O vodka. Add tuna to the virgin mary just before serving though. Leaving it in the vodka or the virgin mary will over cook it.

You've got three pounds...why not?

Well, my wife has taken over the tuna project, and is cooking it in olive oil, butter, cayanne, kosher salt, and peppercorns. I don't know how it will turn out, but I'll let you know.
