Ahi Tuna Rub Food

AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Place tuna in a glass bowl. Combine rest of ingredients and pour over the tuna. Marinate tuna for at least 1 hour.
• Place directly on hot grill for 1 minute or until desired doneness.

SPICE-RUBBED SEARED TUNA STEAKS WITH BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Make the balsamic reduction : Place the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Simmer until the mixture reduces by half. Turn off the heat and reserve until needed. This sauce does not have to be hot for serving. The reduction will thicken slightly as it cools.
• If your tuna fillet is not already sliced into servings, slice into 4 rectangular steaks of equal size. In a small bowl, combine the salt, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Lay the tuna steaks out on a plate and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on all sides.
• Evenly coat the tuna steaks with the freshly ground black pepper and gently press it in so that it adheres to the surface, being careful not to smash the flesh.
• Place a thick-bottomed frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. When you see small wisps of smoke, add the tuna to the pan and sear the steaks for about 1 minute per side or until the desired doneness is reached.
• Remove the tuna steaks and place them on a cutting board. For presentation, cut each steak diagonally into 4 to 5 slices and fan on a plate. Serve with a small amount of sauce drizzled alongside. Garnish with a lemon wedge and enjoy.

SPICY RUB FOR SEARED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest, coriander, black pepper, ginger, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl; rub tuna steaks with spice mixture.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tuna in the hot oil until browned but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes on each side.

MACADAMIA CRUSTED AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Rub fish with salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of the olive oil, thyme, and tarragon. Press 1 tablespoon of the chopped macadamia nuts on each side. Put garlic, shallots, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in saute pan and heat on high until oil bubbles. Carefully place fish in the pan and sear about 15 seconds on each side for rare; 30 seconds on each side for medium rare. If you prefer well done fish, start at a low heat and saute until done. This preparation can be done with mahi mahi or ono too.
• Serve with your favorite starch and vegetables.

EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER

Steps:

• Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
• Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
• Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
• Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
• Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).

• When the oil begins to smoke slightly and/or is starting to swirl, place the tuna in the pan.
• Cook for approximately 45 seconds on each side.
• Lastly, using tongs, cook the ends and (cut) sides for 20 seconds each.
• Remove from heat. Slice to desired thickness (preferably using a very sharp sashimi knife) and serve.
