Tuna is sold as deep red loin portions with a dense, close grain and almost no flake. It eats more like meat than most fish, with a clean, savoury flavour, and the centre is at its silkiest left rare. Cooked through it turns dry and grey, so the sear is short by design.

We cut it at the Barnes counter into fillet portions to the thickness you want. Ask for a thick, even cut if you are searing it rare.

Sear a portion in a very hot pan for a minute a side, leaving the middle red, then slice it across the grain. Sesame, soy and ginger suit it, and so do olive oil, lemon and capers.

How to cook it

Sear a thick, even portion in a very hot pan for a minute a side, leaving the middle red, then slice it across the grain. Sesame, soy and ginger suit it, and so do olive oil, lemon and capers.

Recipe

From the Journal: seared tuna steak with sesame.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. If you need longer, wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking.
