Tuna Steak

A tuna steak is a thick slice of fresh or frozen tuna, most commonly from yellowfin or bluefin tuna. Thanks to its firm flesh, it is excellent for pan-searing, grilling, or preparing as tartare. When cooked correctly, the steak is seared briefly on each side so the center remains pink or even raw, rare or medium rare, preserving its juiciness and delicate flavor. The meat is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It works well as a main course served with a side of vegetables, rice, or as part of Asian-inspired dishes. It is a popular ingredient in both restaurant and home cooking.
