I have a package of "Orca Bay Ahi Yellowfin Tuna Steaks". Can anyone tell me if I need to cook this thoroughly, or is it okay to prepare them raw or seared? Thanks. :)

They're indiv. vacuum-sealed, and the pkg. doesn't say one way or the other about needing to be cooked through.

Check out the packaging. If in doubt, burn it.
If it's fresh, and says it can be used for sashimi, then smell it carefully and go from there.
If it's been frozen for some time, without freezer burn, then it should be free of parasites. Check the internet out for more info.
Still, you're best bet is going to be to marinate it in lemon and shoyu or the like, then enjoy it mostly done at least
On a fresh bed of Jasmine or brown rice.
(Can I come to supper?)
Who needs a fish worm?
(Except for fishing, of course)
Can I fish in your BBQ? I LOVE Ahi!

GRILLED YELLOW FIN TUNA STEAK 1 each tuna steak per person 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/2 c. Tamarri wheat free 1 tsp. black pepper 1 stick melted butter Clean tuna steak with salt water and vinegar. Mix garlic, tamarri, butter, and pepper to make marinate. Marinate at least 1 hour. Put steaks on hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until steaks start to flake. As steaks are cooking pour a little marinate on them. Do not over cook.

I've had ahi tuna rare so I would think that it would be ok. The package is required to tell you if it needs to be cooked. If it doesnt say anything then it should be fine the way it is.

I think you should cook it inside until it is done and flaky. The reason for this is you have not bought sushi grade fish and if it is not sushi grade; then it needs to be well cooked.
This whole thing about eating raw fish at home is making lots of people ill. It takes a real professional to be able to deal with raw fish.

I don't know that particular kind, but the only ones I eat raw are the ones I get from the fish counter - they're vacuum packed and frozen (or freshly defrosted) and bright red. If they're a dull color, I wouldn't consider them safe to eat.

eat raw tuna only if just recently caught and you must have wasabi in soy sauce to kill the bacteria, other than that you can grill it after some semisalty-marination. should you pan grill, use hefty garlic sauteed in o.o., margarine or butter

If they are packaged they may not be quite fresh enough to be at their best raw.
Lovely seared though.
