Hi!

Anyone have a tried-and-true, delicious recipe for tuna steaks?

Thanks.

Regards,

Wrap with bacon. squeeze lemon over the works after brushing with olive oil. Throw it on the grill. Test for done by using pressing with finger for firmness.

Tuna fillets should be 1" or so thick. Season for whatever result yo desire. Cook on a griddle or skillet, olive oil and very hot, doesn't take over a few minutes. Do not go past rare or the flavor will be lost, my preference.
Blackened is a no-no for a good cut of Tuna. You just blacken to kill the taste of cheap, strong tasting fish. $$maker for restaurants.
Have you ever tried charcoal broiled Grouper Fillets, awesome. Gotta have one of those basket,clamp type things or they will fall apart. Baste with butter, lemon, green onion and a little garlic, wow. Again doesn't take long.

Lightly spray with canola oil both sides, season with ground white pepper and grill over very hot grill for a minute or less per side depending on thickness - seared on the outside but rare inside. Marinated in Teriyaki sauce before hand is not bad either - just be sure to spray with oil after marinade.

MCDDY is right on the money...
Alton Brown's recipe is my favorite, just apply it to the steaks...marinate, coat in sesame seeds, super high heat, quick sear, rare in the middle.

Yes to the cooking method. Even my brother loved them and he claims to not like tuna. We serve with a beurre blanc sauce. You can go online to get this simple recipe. I'd bet it would be really good with hollandaise sauce too.

I have had blackened at restaurants, and it was quite good. I think if you are going to prepare it this way, go really easy on the seasoning, many store bought blackening mixes have too much salt.
