UNCLE BILL'S AHI AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small casserole dish (in a microwave).
• Place tuna steaks into the melted butter and coat all sides.
• In a small bowl, mix together wasabi powder, coarse black pepper and granulated garlic powder.
• Sprinkle tuna steaks with wasabi mixture on all sides and lightly rub into the steaks with your fingers.
• Heat olive oil and any left over butter in a heavy-bottom frying pan on medium-high heat.
• Add tuna steaks and sear for 45 seconds, then turn over and sear for another 45 seconds.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK TUNA STEAKS.
• Just make sure that you have a light crust on each side.
• Let fish rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
• You may serve whole or cut into thin slices.
• Serve on cooked rice or Saffron Ratatouille.
• Then spoon some Lemon Basil Pesto over steaks.
• Purchase Ahi Ahi Tuna - yellow fin, this is the best.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.

EASIEST AHI TUNA EVER

Steps:

• Rub the steak with one tbs of the olive oil.
• Put the peppercorns on a plate and press the tuna steak into the peppercorns until it is coated.
• Sprinkle the steak with salt to taste.
• Heat the other tbs of olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat.
• Cook the steak 2-3 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak into 1/4" slices and serve over salad or rice.
• Note: If you do not care for raw or rare fish this recipe is not for you. Cooking a tuna steak for 2-3 minutes per side will leave the middle quite rare, and barely warm. You could cook the fish longer until it is well done, but then you would basically spending a lot of money on a cut of fish that is meant to be served rare or raw. (IMHO!).

LEMON PEPPER AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the tuna steaks.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the steaks.
• Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pan.
• Add 1 tbs of butter.
• Turn the heat down low to medium-low.
• Place the tuna in the pan.
• Add capers, and squeeze more lemon juice into the pan.
• Add slices of lemon to the pan and 2nd tbs of butter.
• Shake the contents of the pan a bit and let cook for about 4 minutes.
• Turn the steaks over and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve the tuna with the slices of lemon and capers from the pan.
• NOTE: As some reviewers have suggested, you may not need to cook as long as the specified time. It's your personal preference how well done you like the steaks. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!
