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

    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

    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?

    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?)

     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.

    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!

    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

    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 :))
