    I have never ate tuna before but my husband loves it so we decided to cook it at home. We cooked the tuna a little long however it still turned out really great. I loved the pineapple salsa so much. And the essence spice for the top of the tuna was really fabulous. I recommend anyone try this recipe

    I loved the pineapple salsa the best! We cooked the tuna a little too long (4 minutes on each side but it was still pretty yummy.

    My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED this recipe! We did not modify the recipe at all (except that we cooked the tuna steak for less time...we like ours just barely seared. As long as you get a good ripe pineapple and a good tuna steak, it's a fail proof recipe and very easy to prepare. The meal reminded us of a gourmet-style restaurant. We highly recommend this recipe.

    Tuna is considered by many - especially the Japanese - to be the exquisite frutta del mare. A few years ago, a Japanese professor-friend was visiting my family in Pittsford, New York and was observing my outdoor grilling of a fresh yellow-fin tuna steak. I explained to him that I intended to grill the 11/2 inch-thick tuna steak for no more than 90 seconds on each side - with a very rare result except for the seared surfaces. His emphatic response was: "You ruin the tuna!" What he meant was that tuna - by Japanese taste - should meet sashimi standards - tuna of high grade should be served uncooked (raw. In trying Emeril's tuna recipe, one might try reducing the grilling time - for a 11/2 inch thick steak, start at 60 seconds on each side. Subsequently, grilling at increments of 30 seconds may give the doneness desired by the individual griller. "De gustibus, non est disputandum!"

    This was the first time I had ever made tuna. The salsa that goes with it is really good and it is not a hard recipe at all. I highly recommend it.

    I didn't even think I liked tuna! This was the best meal I have ever prepared. We don't care for rare (anything so we grilled it for 5 minutes, each side. This one's a keeper!

    Wonderful! I cooked this on the grill and in a grill pan... the grill pan turned out much better!
