I ask the fish monger for a "flintstone steak" - he started calling it that not me. I think it began over the confusion I kept causing by asking for such an inhumanly thick slab of tuna over and over again.
It is about 2 pounds of fresh tuna - real thick. Like 2 and a half inches, thick maybe more.
I pop it on the Grill and sear all the sides on a blistering heat only penetrating about 1/8" or less into the fish. Cold center means cold center.
Then I slap it on a plate and using the biggest knife I have (12") I slice it horizontally and serve it with the Raw side up with a side of wasabi and soy. Mmmmmm Tuna.

I use the expression to distinguish between how tuna is prepared. If it's steamed and shredded and mised with a dressing it's "tunafish" if it's a nice slab whether the belly or a steak it's "tuna."
So for me there is a utility in the distinction.

Wed, May 14, 2008 - 5:24 PMpersonally, I love to crust the tuna slab in a (mortar-and-pestle) ground mix of all kinds of dried black white green and red peppercorns and some fresh coriander seed. then I sear it on the grill (away from my nostrils) and eat ~yum!
