What can I do with fresh tuna steak?

Yes it is very expensive - even in Costco it's £11.99/kg. It tends to taste very similar to pork, we find, which is £2.99/kg for a boneless joint!

nabowla

2 tsp Thai fish sauce
1 stick lemon grass
1 clove garlic
2 chillis, deseeded & chopped
grated zest & juice of 2 limes
1 tsp brown sugar

Mix ingredients together. Marinate fish for c. 30 mins, then grill (works well on a griddle). Garnish with coriander.

Iceland sometimes have a twin pack of tuna steaks on offer for 2 for £5 (so basically 4 steaks for a fiver). That's the only time I buy them, but, they are rather more-ish.

I don't do anything fancy with them because I enjoy their flavour so I just grill them and brush with a little olive oil (porcini olive oil is divine!)

Do enjoy them, but do not overcook them!!!! They'll be like chewing shoe leather if overcooked.

Marinaded tuna cooks like a dream in the microwave and it doesn't dry out.
PS........anyone got a recipe for tuna pate?

Tesco also so do frozen tuna steaks 2 in a pack buy 2 packs for £5

There so quick and easy (not to mention good for you!) I just fry them in butter and garlic - I use the garlic because neither of my children are great fish fans but with the garlic to over power it a bit they eat it fine!

Morrisons do Young Tuna Steaks pack of 2 for £2.09. So you get 4 for less than a fiver.

As others have said do not over cook and best to grill and brush with a small of amount of fat or liquid.

And best of all enjoy with salad and wedges or boiled new potatoes. Yummy.

Someone I work with thought that tuna steaks were made from moulding together a steak shape using tins of tuna!!!!!! :rotfl:
