Sous vide

Tuna

Sous-vide-tonijn

Fresh tuna is one of the easiest products to work with. It does not fall apart easily and as long as you do not cook it for too long, there is little that can go wrong. In this recipe, we cook the tuna sous vide at 45 degrees and grill it for a nice crust.

Ingredients:

  • 4 steaks fresh tuna
  • half red onion
  • pepper
  • sea ​​salt
  • olive oil
  • fresh herbs (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Preparation: Season the tuna steaks with plenty of sea salt and black pepper on both sides. Place the steaks in a sous vide bag and add some olive oil. The steaks should not overlap. Thinly slice half a red onion and add it to the bag. You can choose to add some extra herbs such as fresh parsley or thyme.
  2. Cooking: Vacuum seal the bag and let the tuna cook for 45 minutes at 45 degrees. Then carefully remove the tuna from the bag and let it drain on kitchen paper. Then season again with black pepper on both sides.
  3. Grilling: Heat a cast iron or non-stick pan with some oil. When the pan is piping hot, carefully add the tuna. Grill for 30 seconds per side for a nice layer. Remove the tuna from the pan and let it drain again.
  4. Serving: In this recipe we serve the tuna with some grilled vegetables (asparagus and tomato). You can do anything with tuna. Think of noodles, potatoes, salads etc.

06 februari 2021 als uitgevoerd;

We hadden 4 mooie stukjes tonijn steak, deze zoals beschreven gezout/gepeperd, rode ui, peterselie, tijm en een scheutje olie in de zakken en vacuüm getrokken.
Deze 45 minuten op 45 graden gegaard en vervolgens zoals beschreven in de pan even aangegrild.
Was erg mooi gaar, perfect rosé, de smaak was echter niet mijn ding, te veel vis smaak (heel gek voor tonijn) ;)
We gaan hem zeker nog eens doen maar dan anders gekruid.
Dank je wel.

Hi Cees,

Leuk om te horen dat het perfect rosé is, jammer dat de smaak niet helemaal naar wens was. Misschien kun je een een Aziatische stijl doen met soja, gember, limoen en sesamolie?
