Suggestions:
Since we serve this rare tuna, it is essential to purchase good quality fish from a reliable source. Look for ahi tuna (or yellowfin tuna) steaks for the best flavor and texture.
Local fish markets should sell high-quality sashimi-grade tuna, an unregulated term that generally means the fish is fresh enough to eat raw.
For a rare brown (this is my favorite temperature!), cook until the internal temperature of the fish is 35°C to 43°C (95°F to 110°F). This will maintain a bright and fresh red interior.
For A medium-rare burn, cook at a temperature between 43°C and 52°C (110°F and 125°F). This will produce a medium pink interior with a warmer texture.
