SEARED TUNA WITH CHINESE SALAD AND GINGER-SOY VINAIGRETTE



Seared Tuna with Chinese Salad and Ginger-Soy Vinaigrette image

Salads are quick and painless to throw together on a work night, and you won't feel like you'll have to do double time at the gym the next day. If you're on your own, this is also a speedy and healthy dinner for one: Just use one tuna steak and a few less vegetables. The colors of this sophisticated and simple salad really pop. I like hothouse cucumbers because they have minimal seeds and tender skin. The mustard packets that you get from Chinese takeout are really put to good use in this Asian vinaigrette.

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
Splash of rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
4 teaspoons Chinese mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 head Chinese cabbage, such as napa or Savoy, shredded
1 bunch watercress, hand-torn
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 hothouse cucumber, sliced thin
2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal, white and green parts
2 radishes, sliced in circles
1 carrot, sliced thin
1/4 cup radish sprouts (optional)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup canned mandarin orange segments, drained
2 sushi-quality tuna steaks, such as ahi (yellowfin), 6 to 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Sea salt and ground white pepper
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, vinegar, ginger, mustard, and honey. Gradually drizzle in both oils, as you constantly whisk, until the dressing thickens and comes together. Add a few twists of freshly ground black pepper to give the vinaigrette bite.
  • Combine the cabbage, watercress, cilantro, cucumber, green onions, radishes, and carrot in a bowl. Use your hands to toss the salad. Then add the radish sprouts, almonds, and mandarin oranges; lightly toss again. Don't dress the salad yet because it will get soggy. Cover it and put it in the refrigerator while you deal with the tuna; the contrast of chilled salad and warm tuna is fantastic.
  • Rub both sides of the tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate and lightly press each side of the tuna steaks into the seeds. Heat the canola oil and remaining tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Lay the steaks in the hot pan. Sear the tuna for about 3 minutes, until the sesame seeds form a crust. Flip the tuna steaks over and cook the other side 3 to 4 minutes longer for rare. Slice the tuna on a slight angle into 1-inch-thick slices.
  • Toss the salad with half the vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad between two plates, lay the tuna slices on top, and then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Elegant presentation!

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna: Opt for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture.
  • Sear the tuna properly: Sear the tuna over high heat for a few minutes per side to create a nice crust while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The Asian vinaigrette dressing adds a delicious blend of flavors to the salad. Make sure to use good quality soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  • Use fresh and varied vegetables: The salad is packed with fresh vegetables like avocado, cucumber, and edamame. Be sure to use a variety of colors and textures for a visually appealing and nutritious salad.
  • Serve immediately: Seared tuna salad is best served immediately after it's made. The tuna will continue to cook from the residual heat, so it's important to enjoy it while it's still rare or medium-rare.

Conclusion:

Seared tuna salad with Asian vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and vegetables, and the Asian vinaigrette dressing adds a flavorful touch.
