I have some frozen tuna steaks (ahi). I have no ideas to prepare them. What do you recommend?

Thaw, coat with coarse black pepper, and sear. Serve with a sesame ginger sauce

How about a miso glaze with mirin/ginger/brown sugar?

Or miso butter.

Figuring if you have ahi, you might have miso paste.

Seared on high heat with black peppercorn and sesame seed.

Chop it up into cubes and make poke.

It's a raw dish, by the way. And fairly easy to make.

Take the fish, cut into cubes, add sea salt.

In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, chinese oyster sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and chopped white onions.

Then pour the sauce on to the fish and combine well.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

You can put the fish on top of a plate of steamed white rice, if you wish.

It's fast, easy and healthy.

The recipe at R5 is just one version of poke.

There have been so many variations on it since first being introduced, and now you can pretty much do anything with your fish.

Here's a nice little bowl.

Just give them to the cat.

Oh, you can also top your fish with a nice spicy sauce which is easy to make.

Just get some mayonnaise and sriracha and mix it together. Then use a squirt bottle to add the aioli to your fish.

How thick are your steaks, OP? I'd say sear them on both sides and leave the middle pink.

After that, make a composed (Niçoise-type) salad with vinaigrette (DIY), olives, hard-boiled eggs, etc.

how do you make a nicoise type salad? Your version? I just brought Yukon gold potatoes.

Don't make poke unless you've got sushi-grade frozen fish.

Thinking on a cast iron sear.

Either go Italian or Japanese with it (tuna Takaki). Problem with the Japanese version is I need to buy some stuff. I love Tuna Takaki. But what do you serve with Tuna Takaki?

I do not know. if I sear it and go Italian, I need a sauce or something. I can serve with roasted potatoes and a simple green salad,

I love Tuna Takaki. Never made it. What do you all recommend?

Be very careful with the defrosting process or you may have a nice case of food poisoning!
