Grilled Tuna with Sesame Soybeans – Slim Kitchen

Grilled tuna is easy to make at home, just like your favorite restaurant! It is marinated in simple soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, scallion and sesame oil. This adds a lot of flavor to the dish without having to add more sauce or oily marinades.

It can be cooked on the outdoor grill, on the grill, or even cooked. It’s so good that it can’t actually be simpler. Sesame soybeans, Asian zucchini noodles or Asian kale salad are all great.

You may be worried about cooking raw tuna at home, but rest assured. As long as you buy the right fish, you can definitely cook medium-rare tuna or rare tuna at home like you do in your favorite sushi restaurant! This recipe can also be used with mesoporous or good tuna.

Quick guide to buying tuna

Since buying fresh tuna can be expensive for some people and is a bit scary, especially if you are preparing original or almost original primitive tuna, it is important to know what to look for when buying a tuna steak.

• Tuna Type: Tuna has many different types of tuna, most of which can be enjoyed outside and baked outside. Ahi Tuna, also known as yellowfin tuna, may be the most popular tuna, but you can also look for Bluefin, Bigeye, or Albacore Tuna. Most stores sell tuna as steaks, and many times, these AHI tuna steaks can be ordered from large belts. If your cooking is rare, look for sashimi-grade tuna.
• color: Tuna should be dark red to pink and should be shiny and almost translucent. Different species will have slightly different colors, but they should all be rich in pink to red. Tuna should never be brown or matte. This usually means it is getting older. Another sign of age is any gap in tuna steak. They should be a good whole piece.
• smell: Fresh tuna should always have a fresh ocean odor, but should not smell too fishy.
• Previously frozen: Almost all tuna and fish markets sold in grocery stores are frozen at sea to preserve freshness. So unless you buy a freshly caught tuna, it is almost always frozen.
• freezing: You can buy frozen tuna steaks and thaw them at home. Just make sure to buy high-quality fish.
• market: If in doubt, make sure to buy tuna steaks in a high-quality market where you can rely on freshness or, if any, from a fishmonger. Many grocery stores have fish counters and knowledgeable staff can alleviate your concerns about buying fresh tuna.

How do you know when to finish your tuna steak?

If you are cooking tuna steaks to medium rare, the best way to make sure you aren’t cooked is to use a timer. To get medium rare tuna, it only takes 2-3 minutes per side because you just want to burn the fish outside.

Always make sure to use a very hot pan or grill and the tuna will release naturally when it is burned and ready to flip. If you want the tuna to be cooked, you can cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. Tuna drys quickly, so be careful to overcook.

What spice mix and seasonings are paired with tuna steak?

Regarding tuna, there are many different spice mixes, seasonings and marinade options. If you don’t want to use the Asian marinade I suggest in the recipe, you can try a variety of other combinations.

Almost everything that can be used as a steak crust is suitable for tuna. Just make sure not to use anything that is too powerful that will overwhelm the fish. This is one of my favorite simple tuna steak seasoning blends.

How do I pan-studded tuna steak?

If you want to pour them into a tuna steak instead of cooking them on a grill, you can follow the exact same instructions and cook the tuna in a heavy pot or cast iron skillet. Make sure to add some high-heat oil (such as vegetable oil, not olive oil) to the pan first.

Once it gets hot and hot, add the tuna and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Let the tuna rest for 5 minutes before serving. This is a great guide to general tuna.

How to grill tuna steak with foil?

If you prefer to cook tuna steaks with foil, just place the steak directly on the grill. Do not wrap the tuna in foil, or it will be steamed and cooked. Foil is used to help prevent tuna from sticking to the grill.

How long does it take for tuna to be on the grill?

The exact cooking time of the tuna will depend on the thickness of the fish and the concentration you prefer. Generally speaking,

• Rare: About 1-1.5 minutes per side
• Medium Rare: 1.5-2 minutes per side

Eat with grilled tuna

There are many options for grilled tuna side dishes. Usually, I like to make roasted vegetables or salads, so I don’t cook indoors or outdoors. Tuna also pairs rice or quinoa well.

Store remaining cooked tuna

Here’s how to keep soy roasted tuna fresh in the refrigerator:
