Can I use frozen tuna for grilling?

Absolutely! Just thaw it overnight in the fridge and pat it extra dry before marinating. Frozen tuna actually holds up great on the grill - sometimes even better than fresh because it's been flash-frozen at peak freshness. The key is making sure it's completely thawed so it cooks evenly.

Is it safe to eat tuna medium-rare?

Yes! High-quality tuna is perfectly safe to eat pink in the center (just like a good steak). That's actually how chefs prefer it - overcooked tuna turns dry and tough. If you're nervous, use a thermometer - 125°F gives you that beautiful rare-to-medium center.

What's the best thickness for grilling tuna steaks?

I swear by 1-inch thick cuts - thin enough to cook quickly but thick enough to stay juicy. Anything thinner tends to overcook before you get good grill marks. If your fishmonger only has thinner cuts, reduce cooking time to 2 minutes per side.

Can I make these indoors?

You bet! A cast iron skillet gets hot enough to mimic grill marks. Heat it until smoking, add a thin layer of oil, then cook the same way. No grill? No problem - you'll still get that delicious crust!
