Notes
- Keep the tuna refrigerated until right before searing.
- It's important to not add the oil until the pan is hot, otherwise the tuna will stick.
- The pan must be extremely hot to achieve the perfect sear.
- Add the tuna steaks away from you in the pan to avoid splattering the hot oil.
- Keep a close eye on your tuna as it sears to avoid overcooking.
- Make sure your knife is very sharp before slicing the fish, otherwise it can tear.
- I recommend serving the tuna very rare, however you can cook it to your liking. The longer it cooks, the more well-done it will be.
