tuna steaks

[Venum]

hey guys I just picked up a bunch of tuna steaks from the grocery store because they were on sale.....the package they come in says 26 grms of protein for 3 ounces...I dont have a scale yet, but the tuna steaks are about 1 1/4 inches thick, and about 4 inches long in a triangle shape.....do u think that is over 3 ounces? I need to know how many to eat at a time until I get that damn scale...thanks guys i really need some thoughts

Usually an average sized tuna steak is 4-6 oz.

Are you talking about the pre cooked packaged starkist tuna steaks or some fresh steaks? The starkist are probably around 3-4 but anything fresh are most likely 4-6oz like bigsd said.

they are raw steaks, frozen

4-6 ounces then. I love some good tuna steaks. I would thaw them out, season and just sear each side for 2-3 minutes. Nice medium rare tuna steak is this shibby.

you can eat tuna steak raw if you want, searing is the best way to go

what is searing? barely cooking each side? i am cooking one later, but I have to cook it inside....frying pan or bake in the oven??

Since you already made it, I'm not much help. But, searing is in a pan on high heat with little to no oil. I use non stick spray to replace the oil and sear each side for a few minutes.

I am eating another one tonight because I bought a crap load of them. I cooked one in a frying pan last night on high flame, outsides cooked nice but the inside was red and cold....maybe a lower flame will help so I can cook it longer heating up the inside
