Bluefin Tuna with Mango Salsa
Went to the hardware store today to pick up some pieces for my cold smoker I am building, get a call from a friend of mine tellin me Central Market has fresh Bluefin in and I need to get there ASAP. Lucky Home Depot is only about 1 mile away so it only took me 15 Seconds to get there. Did up the Tuna with a little EVOO and DP Raging River, went indirect at 375 for a few minutes each side. The wife said it needs to be like still swimming when it hits the plate. I thought thats a little rare for my liking so I will do up some Mago Salsa and make my taste buds a little happier. Did up some squash on the grill, and did spinach with shallots on the clock in my kitchen.
MANGO SALSA
- Red Onion
- Jalapeno
- Small Mango
- Tomato
- Cilantro
- Lime Juice
Again not sure of how much of each, I just add till I get what makes me happy.
Wife told me we have 5 weeks till Memorial Day Weekend and we can not be at the lake house looking like ..........
I included a picture of the cold smoker in progress. I had this old fire box that was for my old smoker, I am going to rig up a tube to run to the top of the egg. Not sure how it will come out but never hurts to try it out.

I needed a little crust on it. But when I did bite into it I think I heard it scream a little, Oh well its in my belly now and the wife even gave me a back scratch and said some nice things to me."Hold my beer and watch this S##T!"

Your wife is right!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

I just picked up four nice tuna steaks, they cook so fast i have a hard time keeping them pink in the middle!

I'm guessing you just seared it on both sides? What temp and how long per side? That tuna looks delicious!LBGE with a massive wish listAthens, Ga.

375 for about 4 Minutes per side.

Is that direct at gasket level?

Looks like a great dish! If I do cook Tuna, it's lightly coated with sesame oil, then dusted with toasted sesame seeds the kissed for 20 seconds per side over high heat for an awesome Tataki
I wish I could get Bluefin locally, I love to make my own rolls and this stuff is awesome completely raw! I would love to be able to find Escolar too but that seems impossible :(

Gasket Level, I used the AR.

Great idea on using the other fire box as a cold smoker.. I've got an old vertical gas smoker (:-O) that I think I could probably use as a cold smoking box with some minor tweaks. Now I'll just need to find the time to do it.
