Critical Success Points

  • Sweating the onions until translucent without browning.
  • Browning the tuna quickly to develop flavor but avoiding burnt edges.
  • Simmering milk gently to prevent separation.
  • Stirring in mayonnaise off the heat for a stable emulsion.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter when adding tuna; keep face away and use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Milk can scorch if the pan is too hot; keep the heat medium and stir constantly.
