Questions about Tuna steak
How do you cook tuna steak without drying it out?
Pat it dry, brush lightly with oil and sear in a very hot frying pan for about 1–2 minutes per side for a 2 cm steak. Rest it briefly; the centre will stay pink.
How should you store fresh tuna steak?
Keep it covered on the bottom shelf of the fridge at 5°C or below, and use it within 1–2 days of buying, or by its use-by date if sooner.
What goes well with tuna steak?
Seared tuna works well in a Niçoise-style salad with new potatoes, green beans, egg and olives. Lemon and black pepper are simple seasonings that let the fish’s flavour come through.
What can you use instead of tuna steak?
Salmon or swordfish steaks work well in recipes that call for tuna steak. They have a different flavour and texture, so adjust the cooking time to suit the thickness.
