tuna steak

Grilled fish portion

A tuna steak is a thick crosswise cut of tuna, typically from larger species like yellowfin or ahi.

Unlike canned tuna, tuna steaks are cooked like beef steaks—often seared rare or medium-rare to preserve their deep red color and meaty texture: I'll have the tuna steak, seared rare.
