as you can eat it raw if you get sushi grade, or almost raw if it's not sushi grade.

Marinade it in whatever flavors you like, soy sauce, chili, garlic, sesame oil, etc. Then just place it on the grill or in a cast iron skillet on the stove and watch it very carefully. It's quick and easy, just watch it change color on the sides. Flip it carefully only once. Use a metal fish turner or tongs. Acids like lemon/lime juice can also cook it a bit before you even put it on the heat if you're into that.

Go easy on the tuna as it has a lot of mercury.

And Youtube is better than Google for recipes if you want to see a pro chef show you how it's done.

The tuna cans they sell at your local grocery store are complete garbage. Good Italian tuna in olive oil is delightful and so easy to use in pasta or sandwiches without any need for mayo. If you're in Kansas, are you getting frozen tuna? Flash frozen tuna steaks are not too bad, just thaw it out well and dry it before cooking.
