spray on a little olive oil, spice (I use fish spice with a bit of paprika...you can add parsley or herb mix... whatever spices you like) and dry fry in teflon pan. let it sit on each side a long time... it is really really yummy! serve with rice and roasted veg or stir fry...

Aren't they really dry?

I use terriyake sauce and broil on each side for a few minutes- do not overcook - tuna is best when very rare.

I had the most wonderful cold tuna steaks at a shabbat bat mitzva umpteen years ago and was never able to replicate the perfection - not even with the $35/lb steaks I once bought. I gave up.

Only if over cooked, and unlike canned tuna they are a good Omega source.

Make a sauce of lemon juice, olive oil, spices, cut tomato, zucchini, onion, whatever you like and then saute it in the sauce until just done. This can be done in a pan, oven or microwave.

Make them on the grill brushing with VOO, lemon and spices.

Real simple: Rub them with salt and lemon juice and fry them up.

Always until just done. Overcooking is what makes them dry.

I agree. I hate tuna when it's cooked through. I just barely sear mine on each side. BUT only if I first get the okay from the fish market. I don't want to be eating fish raw or rare that isn't 100% fresh and safe.

I wouldn't cook tuna in the microwave...not at the price you pay for them.

have you tried googling fresh tuna recipes?

the one time I made it I seared it in a pan until just done, making sure not to overcook. it is so good as it is I wouldn't bother cooking it in a sauce.

I dont remember exact recipes offhand, but I only cook tuna on the stovetop, and usually in a grill pan, I usually use a soy sauce recipe. If you need it, Ill try to post it later.

Someone just gave me fresh tuna steaks as a gift. It was from a supermarket that I never normally go to, and though I can see the scales, etc, it only has a Jerusalem Rabbanut hechsher. I usually only eat a few selected mehadrin hechsherim, never just Rabbanut. In the case of fish, though, does anyone know if it's a problem as it's fresh fish if the hechsher is only Rabbanut? (To my shame, I haven't bought fresh fish for years as my kids never liked it.)

Don't want to get rid of it either. WWYD?

I'll take it if you don't want it Shosh!

I did a tuna steak in the microwave the other night. Poured some ready made (Osem "vinaigrette") dressing over it, added a little water (maybe 1/2 cm) and put it in on medium high for 10 minutes. DH wasn't a big fan (he only likes 1000 island dressing), but DS#1 ate all of his Abba's fish, so I figure it wasn't 1/2 bad.

I sear it lightly then slice it and put it in a dish with sliced red onion, soy source, sesame oil, lemon juice and honey and I leave it overnight to marinade in the fridge.

That sounds really nice, Cubbie.

afaik you can buy fresh fish from anywhere as long as you can see the skin. You can slice a bit off the cut end but it is not necessary since it is a cold, not sharp food. some people take their own knife and board for the fishmonger to use. (I buy my fish from a shop that sells scallop, lobster and other delicacies)

I once tried the tuna steaks with melon salsa in The Kosher Palette; it was delicious.
