Centre Cut
Centre-cut albacore steak is a thick portion from the middle of the loin—even thickness for predictable grill timing. Pale flesh shows concentric grain rings typical of tuna steaks. Ideal for rare searing and plating. Oil, salt, high heat, rest. Aim for a hot exterior and translucent centre if quality allows. Thaw vacuum steaks slowly to reduce drip.
