How to Cook Dry-Aged Yellowfin Tuna
- Sashimi / Carpaccio: Slice thinly against the grain with a sharp knife. The aging enhances every bite — serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
- Seared tuna steak: Heat a cast iron pan until very hot. Sear 30–60 seconds per side, leaving the center rare. Season simply with salt and sesame oil.
- Poke bowl: Cube the tuna and toss with soy sauce, sesame oil, avocado, and scallions. Serve over sushi rice.
- Grilled: Grill over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side for a caramelized crust and rare center.
- Serve: Pair with steamed rice, edamame, or a light citrus dressing. Avoid overcooking — dry-aged tuna is best enjoyed rare to medium-rare.
