Tuna tartare may seem difficult, odd, or complicated to make. On the contrary, it is an easy dish with deep flavour and nice colours. I adore raw tuna in sushi or sashimi; maybe this is why I have decided to make some tartare at home and nicely impress my family.

If speaking about the traditional dish, then a tartare became famous made of raw beef, sometimes topped with a fresh quail yolk. However, nowadays, there are many tartare recipes made of salmon, beef, tuna, and others. For example, if I make a beef tartare, I definitely add some pickles, but if I make a salmon tartare, I like to add some avocado. I have also used some avocado that pairs so perfectly with a raw tuna steak for the tuna tartare recipe.

Yet, here I have to mention that the most important part you should pay attention to is the best quality of fish you buy. When buying tuna steak for tartare, make sure it is fresh, has a nice deep pink colour, smells good, and is from a famous fish market. It is important to buy the freshest fish as you will use it raw. You don’t want to feel some side effects from a bad tuna steak.

Do you have to marinate tuna meat?

Optional, you can marinate the steak in some acidic juice for some minutes, but I skip this moment as I try to eat raw tuna meat and feel its authentic taste.

Also, it is essential to keep your raw tuna meat on ice while you are working with it, and if you want a more elegant presentation, you can easily serve tuna tartare on cracked ice cubes.

The tuna tartare recipe is high in proteins, is quick to make, low-carb, and gluten-free. It is a little costly, but if you buy a nice piece of tuna steak, then be assured you will enjoy a great amount of the best tasting tuna tartare.
