Tuna steak - any ideas on how to cook them for children?

Question

My son loves them and I would like to make sure he keeps eating them because they're good for him. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

Cut in cubes and skewer, then grill. (Marinate in olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper and fresh rosemary for an hour.)

Answer 2

BROILED TUNA STEAKS

4 tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick (2 lbs. total weight)
Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped or 1 tsp. dried
1 tsp. fresh grated or dried powdered ginger
1 sliced clove garlic
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil

In a mixing bowl blend the salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, thyme, soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. Brush the mixture all over the tuna steaks. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 1/2 to 1 hour until ready to broil.
Broil on rack under broiler about 4 inches from heat source, about 3 minutes per side, or grill on high (cover closed) 3 minutes per side. Leftover marinade can be heated and served over steaks.

Answer 3

Don't cook them beyond about medium rare - otherwise they taste like cat food. A good seafood marinade is a mix of soy sauce, orange juice and sesame oil. I like it with wasabi but that probably wouldn't be to a child's taste.

Answer 4

Fresh tuna chunks in batter

Nice easy batter....
Self raising flour + mineral water with gas or soda water

Dip fresh tuna chunks in batter (2cm sq) Deep fry until golden brown and serve on a bed of fresh lettuce with fine strips of carrot and pineapple pieces (preferably fresh).

When he gets older you can start adding the tabasco.

15 minutes from start to finish and your son will love it.

Answer 5

If your not going to cook it well done make sure you marinade has citrus in it and let it sit for a couple hours - the citrus will held to keep to kill any bacteria in the meat

Answer 6

marinade in sweet chilli sauce (if he likes chilli sauce that is)
