Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are bright red in color and have a firm texture. Avoid steaks that are brown or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the tuna steaks before cooking. This will help to tenderize the steaks and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more elaborate marinade, such as the pineapple marinade used in this recipe.
- Cook the tuna steaks over high heat. This will help to sear the steaks and keep them moist and juicy. You can cook the steaks in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
- Do not overcook the tuna steaks. Tuna steaks are best when they are cooked rare or medium-rare. Overcooked tuna steaks will be dry and tough.
- Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for tuna steaks include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
