Healthy Cooking Tips:
Make sure the tuna is very fresh and about 1 inch thick or more. Yellowfin is good for this recipe. Refer to our stove-top searing animation if needed for more instruction. Basically, it is best to make sure the pan has had sufficient time to get hot so it sears the tuna. This will seal in the moisture. Because tuna can get dry from cooking, it is important not to over cook it. Tuna is best served cooked no more than medium rare.
