Tips:

  • For the best results, use sushi-grade tuna that has been frozen for at least 24 hours. This will help to kill any parasites that may be present and make the fish safer to eat.
  • When searing the tuna, be sure to do so quickly over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside rare and tender.
  • Allow the tuna to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite.
  • Serve the tuna with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, ponzu sauce, or a citrus-based vinaigrette.

Conclusion:
