Quick smoked tuna


Recommended Posts

A quick dry brine mix of 1 part salt 2 parts soft brown sugar. Slice the tuna and cover in the mix and leave in the fridge for 30-40 mins.

Rince off the mix and pat dry with paper towelling and leave in the fridge for another 30+ mins to form a dry sticky surface. If the surface isn’t tacky it won’t form a decent coating and rather steam in the smoker. Grind some black pepper on some for those who like that. 
Start the bbq charcoal, I  use an electric fire starter, which has the charcoal burning well in about 1 min. 
close the lid and get the temp under control for a 90-100’c smoke. Place a couple of chunks of apple or cherry wood among the charcoals ( not coals ).

I use diffusing filters very much like pizza stones over the flame and have the tune placed on a wire rack higher in the bbq. 
leave for around 35mins then remove and allow to cool. I find vacuum sealing a few steaks seems to increase the flavour. 
Only issue was I didn’t have enough tuna, so need to head out and get more.
