Welcome to Prairie Street Prime Culinary Kitchen.

Introduce the dish: Sierra tuna on the cast iron on the open fire grill, complemented with pineapple and dragon fruit.

Demonstrate how to cut the tuna loin, portioning it for use.

Remove the skin from the tuna loin and set it aside for later use.

Cut the tuna into medallions about two inches thick.

Season the tuna medallions with salt and pepper, and optionally sesame seeds for an Asian style.

Ensure the cast iron skillet is very hot for searing the tuna.

Add vegetable oil to the skillet, about one millimeter high, and let it heat up.

Sear the tuna medallions on each side until they have a nice color, without moving them too much.

Check the doneness of the tuna; it does not need to rest after cooking.

Slice the seared tuna into pieces once cooked, ensuring each side has a nice sear and color.

Finish the dish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and salt before serving.
