You will not ruin it. My wife likes her's cooked a little more. It ends up looking and having the texture or a Medium rare Beef steak. Not as tasty as the Boys above recipes. But still very good. I will agree that the quick sear is the method. I use a grill grate upside down or a cast iron pan. A charcoal fire is good, the Hasty Bake with the ability to raise the coal I can only imagine is better.I bet folding money you make it something special!

Thanks BP and Jim!
I loved the ahi... Thanks to everyone for your help! I didn't have a clue as to how to prepare this.

I drizzled the tuna with olive oil and let it chill overnight as Scooter suggested...
sprinkled with BP's Desert Gold. Then seared with high heat on the Hasty Bake.

I followed Scooter's suggestion about using the onion dressing and cilantro... Thank you Scooter, I loved it!!

Then I followed Tbone's recipe by wrapping the ahi in lettuce, topping with slaw and drizzling with his orange juice/ginger/garlic/soy sauce...
