Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna steaks possible. Look for steaks that are bright red and have a slight sheen. Avoid steaks that are brown or gray, or that have a slimy texture.
- Season the tuna steaks simply with salt and pepper. This will allow the natural flavor of the fish to shine through.
- Cook the tuna steaks over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to keep the fish moist and prevent it from overcooking.
- Serve the tuna steaks immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple green salad.
- Don't overcook the tuna! Tuna is a delicate fish and it can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil will help to flavor the tuna and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the tuna steaks in a skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the skillet before adding the tuna steaks.
