How to make Nobu’s Seared Tuna

Pat tuna fillet dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear.

Carefully place the tuna pieces in the hot pan and sear for just 30-60 seconds on each side, depending on the thickness of the tuna. The goal is to sear the outside while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare.

Once the tuna is seared to your liking, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

To serve, slice the tuna thinly against the grain.
