How to cook and what to serve with them?

All recipes suggest cooking it medium-rare because tuna can get dry very quickly. But I’ve tried it medium rare at a restaurant… and eugh it just feels kachha. Plus I don’t feel comfortable have partially cooked food being pregnant and all.

I’m thinking of marinating in lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, zeera powder and chilli powder, mixed with freshly blitzed corriander. What should I serve it with?

p.s. I have bell peppers in the fridge and want to use them before they get old - anything can be done with them?

but I don’t have avocado at home so might just do roasted potatoes as a side. What do you all think?

That recipe looks yumm! But the smell of tuna puts me off, well the tinned one! Wonder if the steaks are nicer?

A good ahi tuna steak is to canned tuna what a good ribeye is to spam :slight_smile:

I like my ahi tuna seared and that’s about it, but then I eat sushi too.

For cooking it thoroughly without drying it out try sous-vide approach

Here is a simple process

Re: Tuna steaks

nnabid, i remember reading in a previous thread that you’re pregnant? if you are, avoid tuna steak. Tuna is one of the fish that’s high in mercury.
pregnant women are advised not to eat tuna too much. i m not sure if eating it a few times is okay or not. just read up on it before you eat it. i think chunk light tuna is okay which is in a can because its from a smaller tuna which has less mercury but those giant tunas have too much mercury. i heard ahi tuna is not recommended for pregnant women. im not too sure though, just google it online before you eat it.

Re: Tuna steaks

The sounds quite good. How much of each ingredient do you add in the marinade?
