Cross Cut

Cross-cut steak is sliced perpendicular to the spine through a bone-in or boneless loin section, showing a full cross-section of the fish’s muscle. Bone-in cross cuts look dramatic on the grill; boneless are easier to eat. Same cookery as other tuna steaks—hot and fast. Bone-in can help heat distribution slightly and looks festive. Watch thin edges so they do not overcook before the centre sets.
