Note

Do not overcook the tuna, as it will become dry. Aim for a medium-rare center for best texture.

This recipe works well on a stovetop grill pan, outdoor grill, or under the broiler.

Ensure any marinade used for basting is boiled briefly before serving if it has touched raw fish, or reserve a portion of the marinade before adding it to the raw tuna for basting.
