Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 medium red pepper (capsicum/bell pepper), sliced
2/3 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
2/3 teaspoon cumin powder
A good pinch of red chill flakes
1 large garlic clove, diced finely
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or other type of vinegar)
1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
1 tablespoon butter or ghee
1 teaspoon coriander seeds (or coriander seeds powder)
2 tuna steaks (about 150 g each, 1-cm thick), sourced with sustainability in mind
1 lime
A pinch of sea salt & black pepper
1 large, ripe avocado, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
Some lime juice, about half a lime
A little pinch of sea salt

Steps:

  • Sprinkle tuna steaks with sea salt, black pepper and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Add paprika, cumin, chilli, garlic, vinegar, a good pinch of salt, and about two tablespoons of water. Mix through and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly browned. Remove to a plate, or use a different frying pan for tuna steaks.
  • Grind the coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle or use coriander seed powder instead. Heat up a little oil and butter (or ghee) to sizzling hot in a frying pan. Add coriander seeds and the zest of one lime (about a teaspoon of zest). Stir through to infuse with the flavours. Add the tuna steaks and turn the heat down to medium. Drizzle with juice from half a lime and cook for 2 minutes on each side (more if you like it well done and less if it's super fresh and you like it rare). Use a spoon to bathe the steaks in the buttery, lime sauce they're cooking in.
  • Combine avocado and fresh coriander and season with a little sea salt and the remaining lime juice, about one tablespoon.
  • Assemble red peppers on the serving plates. Place tuna steaks and top with avocado salsa and more red peppers. Squeeze extra lime juice and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil just before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tuna steaks

Steps:

  • Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
  • Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
  • Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO SALSA



Seared Tuna Steak With Avocado Salsa image

This recipe is from Eddie V's Edgewater Grill in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is the original recipe; however, I make a few slight changes to the recipe (to accomodate my personal tastes) when I make it. First, I add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to bring out the flavors a little more. Second, I only use 2 Tbsp. of olive oil (instead of the recommended 4 Tbsp.) because I like a chunkier vinaigrette. Third, I chop the cilantro and sprinkle it on top of the fish and salsa. Either way, it is a great recipe and worth having at least once!
