Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (6 ounce) fillets ahi (yellowfin) tuna steaks, sushi-grade if possible
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
¾ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
48 haricots verts (thin, French green beans), trimmed
16 baby carrots, greens trimmed to 1/4-inch
16 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
16 Nicoise, Gaeta, or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chervil sprigs

Steps:

  • Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss tuna with marinade, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Pour vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and soy sauce into the bowl of a blender. Add shallot, 1 tablespoon parsley, thyme, dill, honey, Dijon mustard, jalapeno, and ginger. Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
  • When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
  • To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

SEARED TUNA WITH CITRUS SALSA

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tuna steaks (about 6 to 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, crushed
2 oranges
1 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lime
Salt
Cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Rub tuna steaks with peppercorns and set aside while you make the salsa.
  • To make the salsa, section oranges, removing all peels and pith. Chop orange sections into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine orange with onion, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice. Toss together, season with salt and cayenne and set aside. Rub a cast iron grill pan with oil and heat. Grill tuna, turning once, until desired degree of rareness is reached, from 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Serve topped with citrus salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of white marbling.
  • Sear the tuna steak quickly: The goal is to get a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side over high heat.
  • Let the tuna steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Use fresh herbs and citrus juice in the vinaigrette: This will brighten up the flavor of the tuna steak and add a refreshing touch.
  • Serve the tuna steak with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared tuna with citrus-herb vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the tender tuna steak, the bright and flavorful vinaigrette, and the roasted vegetables makes for a satisfying and healthy meal.
