It was frozen.

You need to spend a thousand dollars on a special japanese zushi knife before even considering touch a tuna steak. Let alone seasoning it.

>>16712041
I like it with with salt, pepper and a slight dash of lemon. a friend reccomend only soy sauce.

>>16712070
Sounds basic, and I'm not basic.

>>16712082
asking for advice at a basket weaving forum instead of experimenting is basic you ungrateful bitch.

>>16712082
Do you want to taste tuna or seasoning? Follow the KISS principle.

Fuck it I'll just throw dill on half and mint on the other half and see if it's any good. If it's not I'll just run it under the faucet and eat it plain. Salt and pepper is not seasoning and should not be a recommendation as such. Salt/pepper is always used anyway regardless of seasonings. What you said was the equivalent of answering the question of "how do I cook this?" with the answer of "heat it up". Not helpful and you don't deserve to be mad because you didn't even try to help.

>Salt and pepper is not seasoning and should not be a recommendation as such

I actually have a tuna steak in my fridge. Do they grill well?

>>16712041
I remember alton brown briefly cooked it over a chimney starter so it could be like an 800 degree grill sear

>>16712109
>Salt and pepper is not seasoning

>>16712109
Seasonings were only historically used to cover up the taste of spoiled meat. Cooklets cover up their food with seasonings when salt and pepper is only needed in 99% of cases.

I'm obviously gonna do salt and pepper anyway so recommending it was stupid and uncesary and you have the ghall to bitch and moan.

>>16712041
I treat it like a steak. Get a good sear and do not overcook it. Salt, pepper, serve with lemon and butter.

>>16712041
I like to melt some butter with olive oil in a pan and throw some black peppercorns in there for a while. Then I pat the steaks dry and hit them with some salt & cayenne pepper. Then a bit of freshly ground black pepper once they're on the plate. It's simple but it's really good.

>Seasonings were only historically used to cover up the taste of spoiled meat.
I don't think that's a factual statement.

>>16712266
why two different fats?

>>16712278
Flavor of the butter, a little higher smoke point from mixing it with olive oil.

>>16712278
Mostly flavor, I do the same thing when I make a lazy meal of buttered pasta. I cook my steaks in nothing but butter and my pork chops in bacon grease.

>>16712109
lmao sorry bud but you can't cook for shit.

>>16712041
I always just saute them with some diced tomatoes, onions, salt and pepper. delicious every time

>>16712314
follow your recipes basic bitch

sear it with a sesame seed crust. you won't regret it

I was too stressed to cook it so I ordered sushi instead. Thanks anyway.

>>16712537
are you a baby

>>16712558
No. Just the combination of this thread, my back literally hurting, the robot checkout machine at the store yelling at me to "please put the items in the bagging area" when there's no more room, and I couldn't get my blinker to sync up to the car's in front of me. It's been a rough day altogether. Back into the freezer the tuna goes while I munch on some tasty nigiri.

>>16712577
sorry you've had a bad day but you acted like a wuss throughout this whole thread. put that shit in the fridge and cook it tomorrow

>>16712582
I assure you I am not a wuss. I could probably fight you.

>>16712590
i think i can take someone who crumples in the presence of checkout machine text synthesis

>>16712599
You wouldn't understand. He does it to me all the time. They purposely make the bagging area small so customers can't fit their entire cart full of items on it so they feel ashamed and stupider than a checkout robot. The PTB are trying to humiliate us into submission.

>>16712041
When I make tuna steaks I use a generous amount of cayenne, along whatever else I am feeling at the moment and then a light glaze of honey. I was surprised by how good it was after cooking on very high heat with some avacado oil. One time I was out of honey and used maple syrup and it was still amazing.

>>16712109
>Mint and dill on tuna
>S&P isn't seasoning

>>16712154
>Not liking ground pepper from the pepper mill

You call others cooklets while being a tastelet.

>>16713421
>Be American
>Cover tuna in a million different seasonings
>Can't even taste the fish

And you call those with a superior palate a tastelet. Your taste buds have been burnt out due to an overload of corn syrup and chlorinated meat.

>>16712116
yes. I recommend low heat and as "undercooked" as you;re comfortable with

>>16712041
Tuna doesn't need seasoning unless it comes from a can.
I eat my tuna steaks in butter with a tad of salt it's delicious.

>>16712577
>the robot checkout machine at the store yelling at me to "please put the items in the bagging area" when there's no more room
Lmao this is the biggest baby statement - don't bring more food to the self checkout than fits, you fucking weirdo.

>>16712109
Heat up a pan and sear it on each side a few to minutes to desired temp and eat it you fucking faggot look up a recipe next time

Poach it in olive oil

from his/her responses, I can only assume OP is a tastelet child who with cook this poor tuna until it’s well done, then cover in ketchup, but if not then tuna tataki is your friend: I season with a little Chinese 5 spice as well as salt/pep then serve with ponzu, but putting in a cold salad with potato, green bean, egg, etc is a perfect niçoise salad meal

There is so much garbage on this board but somehow this is the worst thread right now

>>16716580
>I'd rather be talking about little caesars right now
Fuck off
