Great looking tuna. I need to do that soon.

JRWhitee · January 21

I need to eat more meals like that. How did you do the tuna? Did you have to specify Sushi grade?

Thanks.

Mr Holloway · January 21

Did you get it from a local grocery store? I have hard time finding ahi grade tuna locally. Want to try that. What temp you cook it? Raised direct?

Mr Holloway · January 21

Hey JR

It was a light coat of peanut oil and covered in sesame seeds

Hot fire, 45 sec to 1 min /side

I know it looks rare, but it is fantastic

I am new to buying fish and still learning

This was sushi grade

JRWhitee · January 21

Thanks Shane I love it rare! Nice looking cook.

IrishDevl · January 21

Tuna looks great.

NDG · January 21

WOW, tuna looks amazing . . . BOOKMARKED. I am surprised the sesame seeds are on before the sear. Did you toast the seeds before the grill as well?

Mr Holloway · January 21

Hey Chubbs

This was from a small store. The owner is super picky about seafood

A dedicated fish monger is your best bet.

It was a hot fire, direct , 45sec to 1 min per side

The tuna is cooked perfectly, Bravo! I always find the sesame seed get burned due to the hot fire - did you like them? I just can't get it right. Lately, I've just left them off for the hot sear because I can't seem to cook them correctly.

Add pan toasted seeds after the cook. (Cheating?)

Mr Holloway · January 21

Thanks NDG

The seeds were from a jar, I think they were toasted already.

I did wonder if the seeds might burn, but it isn't on there to long

and they had great flavour

Good work on the tuna! They look awesome! I buy frozen Ahi in a bag at SAMS. They're really good on a hot CI griddle with butter. Next time I'm going to try it your way.

Mr Holloway · January 21

Thanks Duck hunter

Yes, the store owner threatened me if I overcooked this :))

Shane

Mr Holloway · January 21

Thanks SkiddyMarker

As luck would have it, I was cooking in -25 with the wind chill

Lost my fire a little quicker than I thought, which ended up working great

Instead of the 750 I was maybe running around 600 or lower

I think I might have just lucked out because they were tasty

I was a little curious to click on your thread because of the dog avatar and the "Can't eat it...." title. Great looking tuna! It's super cold here today. I hope it's warmer where you are while cooking your picnic shoulders!

Mr Holloway · January 21

Thanks Schlosser

This was my first time trying tuna on the Egg.

Nice treat

Shane

Bham_egger · January 21

Awesome looking tuna!

Mr Holloway · January 21

Thanks Hapster

I thought that might be a problem here too.

Then she tried one piece

Ended up it was the sticker price :))

Totally worth every penny though

Shane

We order a Spinach Peppered Tuna Salad with a Ponzu Sauce at a sushi restaurant we go to. This tuna looks as good as that; better even. I'm gonna try this at home now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Here's a recipe Centex-Smoker had a while back. I'm going to try this next week.

http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1142223/sesame-coated-seared-ahi/p1

Here's one from grannyx4

Chimney Tuna

		dash of red chili oil
		dash of sesame seed oil
		1/2.cup dark soy sauce
		1/2 cup honey

		1 T dry wasabi powder
2	lbs	tuna loin, cut into 2 pieces
1/2	cup	sesame seeds
2	Tbs	peanut oil

Procedure

In a non-reactive bowl combine chili oil, sesame oil, soy, honey, and wasabi powder. Reserve 1/4 cup for dipping sauce. Roll eachpiece of tuna in this mixture to coat evenly. Marinate from 1 hour. Remove the tuna from the marinade and discard the marinade.

On a plate, lay the sesame seeds. Roll the tuna in the seeds to evenly coat.

Fire up the grill and on a well-oiled grate sear for 15 to 30 seconds per side or to desired temperature. Remove to rack and rest for 3 minutes. Cover with foil or plastic wrap to achieve carryovercooking. Slice thinly and serve with the dipping sauce.

We make this recipe all the time - enjoy.

Hey Fishless

I will be making some room for a little bark, even if it takes another couple laps

around the block :((

Had a nice bout of stomach flu this weekend,

will weigh in at work and see how much pork I can eat tonight :))
