Wife has been wanting me to do Ahi tuna for awhile now as its one of her favorites and every time I run by the store I always forget to look to see if they have any(usually too worried about other meat and beer haha). Well I picked up a nice 3 pack of fresh yellowfin tuna steaks yesterday for $10.
Here they are fresh out of the package.
Patted them dry then squeezed fresh lemon juice on them. Seasoning was simple. Fresh CBP, pink sea salt, and sesame seeds.
Had a couple small NY strips that I needed to cook too so why not.
Soaked in Yeungling and coated in montreal steak seasoning.
.
Got out one of my CI pans for a quick sear as we like these pretty rare.
Used the side burner on my gas grill.
After the flip.
And done. On the CI for all of about 2 minutes.
Got the steaks on with some butter in the pan.
After the flip.
Here is where it smelled so good I forgot to get better pictures.
Here are the steaks done but with no sliced shot.
Money shot on the tuna steak.
And dinner is plated.
Steaks got saved for a couple lunches but had great flavor. Love using the combo of Yeungling and MSS.
Man the flavor of the tuna was great. I would have preferred a little cayenne on them but they were still outstanding. Used a little bit of store bought greek feta vinaigrette dressing on the salad. This was quick, easy, and good. Prep was 5 minutes. Cook time was 2 minutes. Rest time was 5 minutes. Will be checking the store more often for tuna steaks! Thanks for looking.
