What can I do with fresh tuna steak?

buyitall

Marinated griddled tuna - this is a rosemary conley recipe but tastes lovely!

For the marinade:
4tbsp light soy sauce
zest and juice of 2 limes
smallred chilli, finely chopped
1inch pece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
salt and pepper

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and season with freshly ground blaack pepper.
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and pour over the tuna.
Marinate for 30 mins.
Cook tuna for 2-3 mins each side on a pre-heated griddle pan.
Serve hot with boiled rice or noodles and vegetables of your choice.

I have stocked our freezer right up with the 10p Tuna Steaks currently in Tesco's.

Missed that one - where are 10p tuna steaks????

CGG

They are in the freezer section.
Tesco own brand, two tuna steaks in a box. Weight 300g.
Bargain at10p/box!
They are available in-store and on-line.

I do much the same as buyitall - just marinate it in some olive oil, lime juice, chilli, garlic and ginger. Leave it for about half an hour and then griddle/fry till it's done the way you like it. Or we like it marinated in coconut milk, with the chilli etc.

Tbh, it's so dear normally that we always have it like that as we don't have it often enough to get fed up of it lol! OH loves it and if I came home with a load of 10p steaks he'd be my best friend forever

They are available nationwide. The use by date on the boxes I have are 2009.
To get them all in the freezer I've had to take them out of the boxes and jiggle them about, (if you get my drift).
I bought them initially thinking if we didn't like them, it would be cheap food for the cat for a while. The cat hasn't had a look in. OH and DS see to that.
As you say, Gingernutmeg, they are normally too dear to buy too often, but at 10p a real bargain!

Hello
Excuse my ignorance but I have never cooked this before but it was in the reduced section so decided to give it a go :T

I was thinking of tuna pasta bake for dinner,so firstly how do I cook the tuna and secondly how do I turn it into a pasta bake

:beer: Thanks SS x

Hi smiley,

I wouldn't waste [STRIKE]expensive[/STRIKE]fresh tuna on a pasta bake, although you could chop it up and add if you really want to.

There's an earlier thread on cooking fresh tuna that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.

SmileyS, Are these tuna steaks? If so I wouldn't do tuna pasta.

Just pan fry it for about a minute on each side. You want it to be medium rare in the middle so all you are doing is sealing the meat.

Make a vinegarette:

finely diced Tomato
Juice of half a lemon
finely sliced mushrooms
75ml Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and papper.

Mix all together and drizzle over the top of the steaks. Serve with potatoes and salad. Yum
