How to Cut Tuna for a Tartare Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Karl James owner of Creolesoul Catering located in Round Rock, TX and one behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you a spicy tuna tartare. Now lets cut our tuna and once again we're using sushi grey yellow fin tuna. Basically we're just going to make some small slices like that and we're going to make some fine dices once we get it sliced. Probably about a quarter of an inch so, we'll take that like that and we'll split them and then cut across to get our dices. This is about the size that we want, so once again tartare is just finely diced raw meat or fish. Here we're using the yellow fin, I mean there are other types of tuna that you can get but if you're going to make a tartare I suggest try to get yellow fin. So it's real simple just cutting the tuna a sharp knife really helps, cause in lot of the tuna it's a little fatty parts right here. You can see the little white line that goes across now you can cut that out and leave that off cause it can be kind of chewy at times. Or once you leave it in the sauce it will actually break down that tissue because you're using that rice vinegar, it will help break that down and actually make it so what tender. So anyway we'll continue to dice our tuna and I'll see you back at the next step."
