I like tuna when there's a definite streak of deep pink in the middle, medium rare so to speak, and it comes out best when it's not cut too thick.

WHAT DOES MEDIUM RARE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

medium rare

Temperature (meat)

Temperature is a gauge of how thoroughly cooked a cut of meat is based on the color, juiciness and internal temperature when cooked. The gradations of cooking are most often used in reference to beef but are also applicable to lamb, pork, poultry, veal, and seafood. Gradations, their description, and the associated temperature ranges vary regionally from cuisine to cuisine and in local practice and terminology. The table below is from an American reference book and pertains to beef and lamb. In lieu of gradations and ranges, the United States Department of Agriculture recommends a temperature of at least 63 °C for beef, veal, lamb steaks and roasts in order to prevent foodborne illness. The interior of a cut of meat will still increase in temperature 3–5 °C after it is removed from an oven or other heat source. The meat should be allowed to "rest" before being served, which allows for the juices in the center to return to the edges. The whole meat, and the center will also continue to cook slightly as the hot exterior continues to warm the comparatively cooler interior.
