Tips:

  • Use the freshest tuna steaks possible. If you can, buy them from a reputable fishmonger or seafood market.
  • Make sure the tuna steaks are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can sear the tuna steaks in a hot skillet. Just make sure to preheat the skillet over high heat before adding the tuna.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Seared tuna in cilantro marinade is a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily prepared at home. With its bright flavors and tender texture, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you're grilling, pan-searing, or baking the tuna, be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that you get the best results.
