Notes

⏲️Best Time and Temperature To Cook Tuna Steak

What temperature do you sous vide tuna steak, and for how long? Generally, you can expect your tuna to be cooked in about 30 minutes at a temperature ranging from 100F - 130F for the best flavor and texture.

Rare: 100F for 30 minutes - This will produce pink fish in the center with a more raw taste. Use this time and temperature to finish the dish with a high heat method.
Medium: 115F for 30 minutes - This is the perfect temperature to cook your fish if you're looking for something with a slightly firm texture while still being moist and tender.
Well Done: 130F for 30 minutes - This will give you fish cooked all the way through and has a slightly firmer flaky texture just like canned tuna.
