As hot as you can get it.

as hot as you can get it and as soon as it gets grill marks on it (60-90 seconds), flip it. *just as was said above*
this is assuming you like your tuna rare verses killing it.
i love tuna! would love to see pics!
cheers. -
I like to use a flat cast iron gril,pan whatever is flat and get eggstremely hot and do about a minute per side. Serve with wasabi.
Tuna, Steak, Dijon

2-3 Tbs. Sesame Seeds, Black

1 Oz. Sesame Oil
Salt/Pepper To Taste
Procedure:

Will try to get pics off the phone. Thanks all -
Kroger has Yellow fin. Is that good for grilling? I didn't know if I needed to be looking for Ahi.
-
I don't grill tuna but Starkist is my fave. :laugh: :P I think they are all OK for grillin JoJo.There are some that are considered sushi grade.That may be the Ahi.I've heard of Yellowfin,Bluefin and Ahi.I'm sure there are others.I see MOST folks recommend to cook it to underare to rare. :S Can't say,never had it.To each his own.Some folks balk at 'Loney. :laugh:
-
Whoa!! What the??
"About a minute", "60 to 90 seconds", "45-60 seconds",
since when does anybody round here cook by time and not temp... :silly: -

in this case if the tuna is sushi grade, you'll want the inside to be still cool. i guess time trumps temp in this case.context is important -
Still gets back to thickness of the meat and temp you're cooking at to know how long to cook. Which is back to internal temps again. No? :laugh:
-
WOW! The famous 'Loney instigator does not eat sushi?
What's that all about?
We're just gonna have to do sumthin' 'bout this revelation! :laugh: -
You don't need sushi grade for rare tuna.
A sushi master I spoke with says you are wasting your money if you buy sushi grade with intent to grill. -
Bob,
If I were planning for only the outside 1/8 inch or less to be seared, with the balance of the tuna rare (even cold), I would sure feel better knowing it was sushi grade and all the handling care that goes into that tuna... May be overkill.....
I wonder if that sushi master was thinking more grilled (and done) than just seared. :huh: -
I do mine as above. Get the grill to 500 plus. About a minute per side. I've shut it down before and let it sit an extra minute or two, although it's not necessary. I have used soy sauce and honey to marinade it prior to grilling. It's tasty.
I like the idea of the sauce and the sesame seeds. May give that one a go next time. Just cut the recipe in a 1/4 and make it when needed. Wife won't want any more sauces in the fridge. LOL. I did buy some sesame seeds to try that on my tuna too, but haven't used them yet. Also have them for making sushi. Yum. I use that sashimi grade Ahi tuna that I get from Harris Teeter. It's usually quite cheep.
It's just like steaks though. Thickness chances everything. You'll get a feel for it. With that grade of tuna you can eat it raw so I'd air on the side of undercooking. Enjoy. -
All depends on how you like your Tuna I like mine med. rare and not fully cooked.
BTW- Starkist is not sushi grade but Sandwich grade which is definitely 2 or more steps up from cat food grade :woohoo:
Many "Chefs" say nothing more than this - (This is a little rare for my likes)
-
I'm not sure how much that makes 'Loney above cat food grade ........ hmmmm?
-
:silly: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
FYI - Sushi Grade
-
Interesting, informative, yet confusing article. :pinch: :huh:
I think I would feel safest buying a piece of raw tuna from a quality sushi restaurant ( or their supplier) if I plan to eat it raw in the center. -

That made me google sashimi and FDA. This came up at or near the top. Good old wiki. The carbon monoxide addition bit scares me a bit. Yikes. -
This looks perfect to me! Fresh tuna rare, or even raw, is delicious! But I'm a shashimi lover.
