Cave Man Tuna
« Reply #-1 on: August 22, 2014, 07:28:40 PM »
An easy way to cook tuna seared & rare is to cook directly on the charcoal.
Light lump charcoal & just before cooking shake or stir.
Put tuna directly on carols for about 1 min / side & it's dome!

I've not done tuna like that, and it's been years since I've done a steak like that. After looking at yours, I think I need to go grab me a bag of lump charcoal and some tuna, or salmon.

I have heard of people cooking steaks this way.  Why not tuna?  Looks good to me!

You'd think it would be covered with ash, but no with lump & a good stir no ash!

Dayum, Arrow, talk about back to basics.  But you sure can't argue with the results.

Great looking tuna!

I did some fajitas today using Skirt and was going to do the same thing but way tooooo hot around here to tend to a charcoal grill. But I digress, I was watching Alton B. and he did the same thing but before he put the meat on he covered it and used a hairdryer to blow off the ashes. Looks like it would be a good idea and your Tuna looks like it's cooked perfect.
Love to cook and eat
