Prep

Heat grill up to 600 - 700 degrees.

Lightly drizzle the Tuna with teriyaki sauce and season top, bottom, and sides of the tuna with Q-Nami Rub. Let sit while the grill is coming up to temp.

On the grill spray the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with cooking oil (avocado spray or duck fat) and sit on the grill upside down. Let cast iron come up to temp.

Cook

Place the tuna on the cast iron and let sear for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. We pulled our tuna steak when the internal temperature reached 100 degrees. We like it super rare. You can continue cooking to your preferred doneness.

Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, slice across the grain, and finish with Lane's Original Smoked Salt.

Some people are seafood people and some are not. If you are not, this is a great tuna steak that will for sure change your mind. We cooked ours to an internal temp of 100 degrees. You can obviously cook it to a higher temp. If you are not a rare fan we would suggest cooing the tuna to medium. Our Q-Nami rub stands in the spotlight on this cook. Trust us, it will melt in your mouth.

We prefer our tuna steak internal temperature about 100 - we like it super super rare. You can continue cooking to your preferred doneness.
