Notes
• Anyone who says tuna is dry is OVERCOOKING their steak. It should be prepared medium-rare just like a good beef steak.
• Instead of grilling, pan sear in a red hot frying pan (or grill pan) for 3 minutes on each side
• Increase marinating time to at least 2 hours and then rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking
