Tuna Steaks can be cooked by grilling, barbecuing, baking, smoking, poaching or marinating. Grilled or barbecued, Tunas are best seared and left rare centrally.  Highlight with intense flavours such as charred capsicum, eggplant, balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressings on a bed of bitter greens and aioli, roasted garlic, and Japanese wasabi, soy and pickled ginger.  Alternatively, prepare a baked dinner of Tuna, with a herbed crust to seal in the flavour and prevent it drying out.

Defrosting: For best results remove from box and thaw in your refrigerator overnight; once defrosted use within 2 days.

Preparation: Albacore Tuna is a very versatile Tuna lending itself to many styles of cooking from sashimi, chargrilled, poached, steamed & smoked.  Though care must be taken not to overcook this product causing it to dry.

Season the albacore steak with salt, pepper and olive oil then on a hot grill sear on both sides being careful not to overcook (only needs about 1 minute per side to achieve medium rare).
