You say to buy fresh tuna and never frozen. Studies prove the frozen is just as good even with Japan's sushi buyers. Modern tuna boats are freezing the fish on board the boat so there really is very few people who have access to never frozen tuna.

Kevin Youngblut it’s true. Fisherman who catch Tuna usually is in the ocean for 1 year.

Cooking my first tuna steak tonight. Thank you so much for simplifying the process. Wish me luck.

[@KitchensimpleTv]

absolutely! check out the revised version 2.0 of this video where i corrected some of my amateur mistakes!

[@Smokey.Tackle]

All fish sold in America at some point was frozen somewhere in the supply chain. Especially sushi grade tuna. Sushi grade tuna has been frozen to a temperature well below negative 10° and held there for a extended period of time. That's the kill off parasites. Any unfrozen fish you pick up from the The grocery market was simply frozen fish that has been thawed. So if you pick up a bag of frozen fish and thaw it yourself it is exact same thing.

[@KitchensimpleTv]

Yo! Thanks so much for your insight!

[@Smokey.Tackle]

@@KitchensimpleTv no problem. Frozen fish at the grocery store has a undeserved bad reputation as being "not fresh" but it is the exact opposite. Store-bought frozen fish thawed in the refrigerator overnight will be far fresher than the thawed fish that may have been sitting on the shelf for 2 days or more. And probably cheaper. 😉

[@maddooggg4668]

[@samrodino8511]

You can buy very good frozen tuna "Sushi grade tuna" is always frozen due to federal law stating that any fish that is being sold for raw consumption must be frozen to kill any parasites and such that may be present.

[@sarahlauer4397]

very helpful thank you :)

[@Jordan-bx5ql]

Sushi grade tuna (or any fish) is previously flash frozen tuna. Sushi grade means it was frozen so all bacteria and possible parasites were killed. Even the fanciest sushi restaurants use previously frozen. ;) You can buy fresh at the store, freeze it, and thaw it out and BAM sushi grade.

[@reecehaydenmaks]

Looks good, question why so much vegetable oil in a non-stick pan? Especially after you put evo on the loin before seasoning. Just wanted to know your thoughts on that... Thank You Sir.

[@roytsusui1761]

Great idea, thank you!👍✌️

[@Randiesel85]

Ed, looks great! However, a couple points: You *should* be using frozen tuna. Why, you ask? Because you're eating raw fish, and as such, should be using sushi (sashimi) grade tuna. Sashimi-grade fish, by definition, MUST be pre-frozen to kill any parasites, since it won't be cooked. Secondly, if you're sharpening your knife like that right before you cut into the fish, you really ought to wipe down the blade. You're putting tons of tiny metal fragments in your fish otherwise!

[@Not-jesse]

Randiesel i

[@a.l.murkar6425]

On the comment of never using frozen, in fact sushi grade fish should always be frozen to a very low temperature. The reason is that it kills parasites. It's a common misnomer that "sushi grade" means it's super fresh. Especially if you make salmon sashimi, freezing is important because salmon is even more prone to containing parasites.

[@KitchensimpleTv]

Thanks for the excellent feedback! I'm an amateur cook, so this kind of input is appreciated.

[@MsOutkast88]

Great job. Just out of curiosity, what temperature or level of heat did you have the skillet on?

[@KitchensimpleTv]

MsOutkast88 Every skillet and stovetop burner combination is different so it's a little hard to answer, kind of a medium high. I put the steak in when the oil starts to "shimmer". Then I adjust the burner to maintain that lively sizzling sound. If it's smoking too much you know it's too hot! You don't want to burn the bottom.

[@westercooley2133]

beautiful! great video!

[@elfhighmage8240]

Can I use butter and coat it in the pan as I would with pan seared steak?

[@shadowdeslaar]

Ahi tuna is great. I cook my over coals In a cast iron pan using any oils available. I cook it all the way threw or I’ll eat whatever is warm and heat up the whatever is cold Sirachi sauce Salt And pepper is great Ahi is my favorite so far But I’m very New to cooking in general I did some research Ahi has some of the highest Mercury levels While Sockeye Salmon has some of the Lowest levels. Crazy stuff. But Mercury doesn’t bother me when I’m hungry for that delicious Live Caught fish (Comes frozen Thawed out In a fridge)

June Brown Indeed! - In the NY City area we get it for around $18/pound at Stew Leonards!

[@junebrown8612]

Ed's Kitchen Simple Just checked online here in UK at my local ( pricey) supermarket and did the conversion from GBP and we are curently paying $43 a kilo....so roughly $21 a pound. It's a treat but worth it occasionally as it's soooo good. Probably could be found cheaper elsewhere if I looked but I think there is a need to buy it resposibly and very fresh.

[@KitchensimpleTv]

Agreed, FRESH and QUALITY are key! The good news? You don't need a lot per person...maybe 3-4 ounces (100 grams)! So about $4.30/serving at your pricing. I always serve with a bunch of salad (mescalun/mixed greens) and some delicous bread toasted....It should be the centerpiece of a LIGHT meal.

[@seaurt]

I'm pretty sure that the only way you are going to get "fresh" tuna as opposed to frozen tuna is to catch it yourself in the USA. All tuna must be flash frozen on the boat where it is caught, so buying frozen tuna is the best way to go. You can then defrost it yourself and not at the super market where it has been thawed out for hours before using.

Well done

I buy sushi grade Tuna for sushi frozen all the time - there are Sushi chefs that freeze fish After they buy it at market for texture reasons. No biggie, just something I learned watching sushi chef vids on food network or ? In any case, I have had GREAT experience with frozen.

[@daeoable]

I'm pretty sure they freeze to kill any parasites. I can't see how freezing changes the texture. It might be the case with tuna, since I'm not very familiar with it, but fatty fish like salmon do not change texture at all

+Saqi S I cannot recommend cooking it all the way! Tuna can dry out and become very tough if overcooked. But, if you want just watch the side of the tuna and when it's cooked 1/2 way thru, then flip and cook the other 1/2.
