Ahi Tuna Rub

The Ahi Tuna Rub combines dry mustard, black pepper, smoked hot paprika, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to create a flavorful spice mixture for seasoning tuna steaks. It highlights smoky, earthy, and tangy notes that complement the fish well.

Description

This rub mixes ground dry mustard with black pepper and smoked hot paprika, providing spicy and smoky depth. Dried thyme and rosemary add herbaceous notes while onion and garlic powders contribute savory flavor. Salt balances and enhances the overall taste.

The seasoning is applied to pat-dried raw tuna steaks to coat both sides, then the fish is suitable for grilling or pan-searing. The blend offers a balanced flavor that enhances without overpowering the natural taste of ahi tuna.

The rub can be stored in an airtight container away from light and heat for at least six months, providing an easy way to season tuna whenever desired.
