Seared Tuna

One time, I found a Jamie Oliver YouTube video that very simply showed me how to perfectly sear tuna.

Then, I John, Wyatt, and Hudson actually caught tuna and I realized I’d forgotten every delicious morsel of advice that cute young Brit told me.

If I weren’t quite so lazy (or had better WiFi), I’d look up that video to make sure I’m giving you solid advice. But I’m not and I don’t so instead, I’m telling you exactly what I do whenever we catch tuna (which is like fives times. Ever.)

What to Do:

1. Catch a tuna. Preferably two
2. Fillet it if it’s too small to cut into steaks (like ours always are)
3. Google “how do you fillet a fish” if you can’t find anyone to do it for you, Amen for John
4. Heat a sesame oil in a hot skillet
5. Add tuna
6. Sprinkle (heavily) some sesame seeds on top (because in food porn pics, seared tuna always has sesame seeds on the edges)
7. Turn the tuna over so all sides get a bit o’ searing
8. When the cooked part of the tuna (it turns white) seems like enough (all personal preference here — I mean, you can literally eat it raw as sashimi if you want), put it on a plate, on a salad, or on a scoop of rice and take a photo. Congrats — you did it.
