This ahi tuna steak recipe makes one brilliantly cooked piece of fish: in just 5 minutes! Here's how to cook tuna steak.

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Fish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 steaks (8 ounces) high quality ahi tuna (sashimi grade recommended; wild caught if possible*)
1/2 tablespoon neutral oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
For serving: Garlic Herb Sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Allow the tuna steak to come to room temperature by letting it stand for at least 20 minutes.
  • Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle it liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides to get a nice even coating (about 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt for 8 ounces).
  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the tuna steak and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still rare on the inside. The tuna will continue cooking while sitting. For a medium-rare tuna steak, the internal temperature should be 130 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest point.
  • Cool for 2 minutes. Then slice the tuna against the grain into ½-inch slices and serve immediately, with the sauce if desired.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Pan-Seared Steak With Red Wine Sauce image

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, or 1 3/4 pounds bone-in steak (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 shallots
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons good brandy, preferably Cognac
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Watercress, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.
