Yellow Fin Tuna Recipes WANTED

dunwoodyegg

just got back from a deep sea fishing trip out of Louisiana.  We caught a ton of yellow fin tuna and wanted to see if anyone had any good recipes to share.  Cook some tonight with just EVOO, salt and pepper.  Turned out good.

I fix a tuna steak for the wife every now and then. Sesame oil, S&P, and sesame seeds on the top and bottom of the steak. Sear on a rocket hot CI skillet (600°+) in sesame oil 45 seconds per side. What part of Dunwoody are you in? I'm in the Chateau Woods neighborhood behind the Georgetown Kroger.

 this recipe has a thai dipping sauce and the tuna steak needs a 1 to 2 hour max marinade

@Big_Green_Craig posted a solid looking yellow fin cook to Facebook the other night.  Perhaps he'll share the recipe

Brush with a little oil, hit it with some salt and pepper, then roll it in white/black sesame seeds. Sear it on a screaming hot cast iron skillet. I can't give you a time frame for searing, but you'll be able to see the fish cooking. Flip when visually done. I served mine with a lemon wedge and some ponzu sauce. Almost tuna tataki style.

@travisstrick has a dip that he served in Salado. People went crazy over it. Maybe he'll jump on.

I did a tuna steak & a lobster tail.

For the Tune Steak.
I went with one
1 1/2 in thick yellow fin tune steak
1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup of vegetable oil (no peanut oil, allergic to nuts)
1 tea spoon of minced garlic
A pinch of black pepper

I took a sharp knife, and cut about 1/2 cuts all over it.
Put all the ingredients in a zip locked bag.
With all the air out, shake well and let it sit in the fridge for about 1 - 2 hour. Giving it a shake every now & then.

I seared it around 425 for 2 1/2 mins on each side.
And it came out alittle over cooked for preference,   being medium.
But it was good!!
