With a sous vide cooker, you can evenly heat the tuna to the point where it is starting to firm up, giving it a meatier bite while maintaining a gorgeous, translucent red color and moist texture.
As for timing, there's no need to leave tuna in a water bath for longer than it takes to just cook through—a half hour to 45 minutes is plenty for one-inch steaks, and 45 minutes to an hour for steaks up to two inches thick.Many types of tuna are dangerously overfished, and I strongly advise doing some research on the type of tuna you are buying before purchase.
I found sugar in the brine to be distracting, though, if you like the extra sweetness, feel free to add it. I prefer dry-brining to water-brining for the sake of convenience: All you have to do is salt your tuna, seal it in a bag, then let it rest before cooking. Half an hour seems to be the magic number—you'll get a strong brining effect, but still keep things moving along in time for dinner.
Typically, I prefer searing my tuna. Tuna has hearty, meaty flesh and can stand up to some real flavor. Searing it au poivre–style, with a heavy coating of black pepper, is a nice way to go. A mix of white and black sesame seeds is also a delicious coating, and a fun 1990s-era throwback to fusion.However you coat your tuna, the important thing is using very high heat to sear. Your goal is to color the exterior while minimizing the additional cooking you do to the interior.
If you want to go the canned-tuna-texture route, you can use tuna cooked to 130°F in any recipe where you'd use canned tuna, like
