how can i jazz up my tuna steaks?

Question

i am having tuna steaks again for my tea, and would like to jazz them up with a sauce or something

Answer 1

Worchester sauce. Try that, it'd make them be all tangy. And don't forget the sweetcorn, can't have tuna without sweetcorn...

I'm hungry now D:

Answer 2

make tuna cerviche. You slice up the raw tuna, add a pot of ready made salsa, some lime and if your feeling reckless a dash of vodka. Add some salt and then leave for at least 2 hours. You dont have to cook just eat as is. the lime and vodka cook the tuna. Sounds awful but delish. enjoy

Answer 3

If you want then dry then simply season them with ground salt and pepper and a light sprinkling of english mustard powder.

A nice tangy sauce to go over them is a reduction of a glass of full bodied red wine (175ml), 2tsp of muscavado sugar, 1tbs balsamic vinegar (doesnt need to be expensive stuff), 1/2 a tbs of dijon mustard a pinch of cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil gently and then simmer till reduced by about 1/3 (use a flat bottomed frying pan to do quickly) finish by adding a a handful of ripped basil leaves.

Works really well served on tagliatelle with a simple mixed leaf side salad dressed with unreduced sauce diluted 1:2 in a decent olive oil.

Answer 4

I like to grill tuna steaks using a marinade of olive oil, balsamic vin. (3 to 1 ratio) crushed garlic and a pinch each of basil & thyme

Marinade in the fridge for 1 hour.

I like to let my steaks get close to room temp, then grill about 3 minutes per side on a medium/hot fire.

Now I'm hungry!

Answer 5

Mustard sauce. make a white sauce by the usual method (flour, butter, milk) keep stirring it and add a heaped teaspon of mustard powder. Pour the mustard sauce over the tuna - delicious!

Chef’s Corner
Ahi Tuna (also know as yellowfin tuna) is a type of tuna that is often chosen for sushi because of it’s dramatic red flesh. When purchasing Ahi tuna, look for solid firm flesh with a rosy cast and no “off” odors. If there are dark brown areas, have them trimmed off. Ahi tuna is traditionally served rare for the best flavor and texture.

To toast sesame seeds, spread seeds in a single layer in (8” sauté pan). Toast over medium heat until they begin to brown, stirring frequently. Remove immediately from the pan and cool completely.

Pre-toasting the sesame seeds ensures that the seeds will be completely toasted and flavorful after the short amount of time it takes to sear the tuna.

Answer 7

Coat them in sesame seeds before cooking. Serve them with wasabi sauce (found in spice aisle, it's a powder). Mix the wasabi powder with a little water to make a paste. Along side of your plate have a small shallow bowl, in it place 2 Tbls. soy sauce, a slice of fresh ginger and let your guests add the wasabi paste to their taste. It is delectable!
