Never made it so I can't vouch for it. Will report back tonight...

And I've seen those Costco steaks, they really do look quite nice. Will they cut to order?

I certainly have gone to 2" steaks being as thin as I go. Since we eat hibachi-style (standing around eating right off the cutting board) I've even gone to asking the butcher to angle his cut so one end/area is slighty more rare than the other once rested, and it works surprisingly well, and we don't have to cook 10 pounds of vein-clogging red meet to get it like we each like it.

Between that and and using the side-burner outside, I think I've just about nailed it with one steak at 2-2.25" feeding us all.

I've been eating a lot of canned tuna...any way to spice it up?

I haven't asked them to recently, but they will. The ones they usually have packed are usually 1.5-2", which is what I generally like. I also like them because when I feel like splurging they carry USDA Prime ribeyes, strips, and sirloin. Even their Choice seems to be generally better than even Publix.

Yes!!

Get your can of tuna, open, and dump it all in a bowl. Sprinkle just a tad bit of coarse sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, cumin, and minced garlic. Give it a big ol' squeeze of lemon. Then put it all in the garbage and go buy some fresh tuna.

Cumin...sounds good.

OK, seriously... I don't eat canned tuna, but I do have The Flavor Bible (basically a list-style book that polled a bunch of chefs for good flavor combos). So here's the ingredients they list as "classic" flavor combinations with tuna:

chile peppers
chives
cilantro
garlic
ginger
lemon
lime
oil
onions
parsley
pepper
salt
scallions
sesame (oil and seeds)
soy sauce
thyme tomatoes
vinegar

Here are some of the flavor affinities (cross-references so all ingredients play well together):

tuna + aioli + capers + tomatoes
tuna + anchovies + green beans + olives + potatoes
tuna + arugula + bacon
tuna + avocado + ginger + radish
tuna + avocado + lemon + soy sauce
tuna + beets + lemon
tuna + black pepper + cilantro + cucumber + soy sauce
tuna + cilantro + cumin
tuna + cilantro + dill + mint
tuna + cucumber + ginger + miso + shiso
tuna + fennel + fennel pollen
tuna + ginger + mustard
tuna + ginger + vinaigrette
tuna + jalapeno chile + cilantro + ginger + sesame oil + shallots + soy sauce
tuna + lemon + olive oil + tomatoes + watercress
tuna + sesame + wasabi

Funny stuff... I used to deploy on submarines and would bring MANY cases of canned tuna with me (and wasn't able to cook it!). We had reason to not have the luxury to fatten up like the rest of the crew, and keep in a little bit of shape (!!!); and man I was hated... The best day of my life was when the cooks on two of the boats we worked off of went to cooking high-protien, low-fat, NOT FRIED diets. If not for all, they always had an option for us. They were awesome AWESOME men!

I'd recommend not being afraid of Tuna in oil, and if you're simply eating tuna out of the can, relish, mayo, and mustard are your friend. I used to also mix-in some wasabi and wrap it in seaweed paper for a change of pace. And I'd also mix-in something like these too - just to try to change it up... Eating tuna 2-3 meals a day (yeah, 98 days under the ice and you can't get fat, you gotta do some shit like that!) makes for an interesting diet and even more interesting exercise routines when you can't make a lot of noise!

WHERE THE **** WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU SO MANY YEARS AGO!

You make me sad!

But seriously, when those two boats/the Navy sent those Chefs to Johnson and Wales to learn how to better feed people on submarines (yes, they left as Chefs!), my life improved handily. I'm sure Reagan almost had to raise taxes to pay for it because when these guys went shopping for a 90-day load-out, they didn't shop where the rest of the Navy shopped for a lot of the food. We had more chicken breast and broiled seafood than I ever dreamed possible! Now, lots of the veggies had to be frozen, but they sure did a great job once they thawed...

Costco's steaks are good imo. I buy the strip, filet mignons, stew beef, pork chops and organic hamburger though. I've had a ribeye twice in my life, I just prefer the strip.

LMAO

Sorry, bud!

Buy tuna in pouches. They don't have to cook the crap out of it like canned tuna. It's much better in texture and taste.

Interesting. You are full of interesting tips!

Add dill relish, mustard, greek yogurt and minced jalapenos. Season with white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
