How should I cut a tuna steak?
Against the grain! This helps keep that tender texture you recognize in ahi tuna.
Do I have to use low sodium soy sauce?
Nope, I just tend to like this recipe with low sodium soy sauce more, so the salt doesn’t overpower the fish.
I don’t like things too spicy, how much jalapeño should I use?
Totally up to you, you can always leave the jalapeños out completely, but I think they add an amazing flavor, so you could start with half the amount and see what you think!
