MEDITERRANEAN STYLE TUNA SALAD WITH OIL POACHED TUNA:

▪30g or 2-3Tbsp roasted red pepper, diced
▪10g or 1.5 Tbsp fennel, small diced

▪20g or 1 1/4Tbsp red wine vinegar
▪A pinch or 15-20 cranks cracked black pepper
Mix tuna and ingredients together using a fork to break down super large chunks of meat. Scoop salad onto a narrow crusty bread (baguette style). Add additional pinch of pepper and drizzle of nice olive oil.
OIL POACHED
▪1lb/.5kg raw big eye tuna (yellowfin also works)
▪Salt
Salt both sides of tuna steak generously. Add 500g or 2.5c olive oil to small sauce pan over med heat. Preheat oil to 150F/65C. Carefully lay in tuna steak, reduce heat to lowish, and poach for 25-30min, keeping an eye on the oil temp to be sure it stays at around 150F/65C. After about 25 min or when temp of tuna reaches 150F/65C, remove from heat and allow to cool for about 30min.
SOUS VIDE
▪1lb/.5kg raw big eye tuna (yellowfin also works)
▪salt
Salt both sides of tuna steak generously. Add 1gal or 4liters water to tall sided pot and add immersion circulator and set temperature to 150F/65C. Add salted tuna steak with a couple of glugs of nice olive oil into a sealed bag (i’m using a vacuum sealed bag). Allow to poach for about 35min. After 35min, remove immersion circulator and add a qt of ice to stop the fish from cooking.
