Flash-Sear Tuna Steaks

You can cook these all the way through if you like, but the fresh taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture are more pronounced when the center is raw. Any oil based dressing or thin sauce (e.g. Teriyaki) can be used, but I prefer Italian for this. Show more

Directions

  1. Marinade tuna steaks in Italian dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Overnight is best.
  2. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear for only a few seconds. Flip. If cooking tuna steaks thoroughly, about a minute on each side should do it. ***If steaks are really thick and you don't mind the heat, you can stand the steaks on their edges and roll them like wheels for a uniform flash-seared look. Please use caution if attempting this. Steaks can get quite hot.***.
  3. Serve and enjoy.
