Steps:
- To make the steaks: Combine lemon zest, oil, salt, and pepper and marinate the steaks for 10 to 30 minutes (but no longer than 30 minutes or the fish will start to break down.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a hot but not smoking pan, sear on each side for 2 minutes. Transfer the steaks to an ovenproof dish and finish in the oven for 5 minutes.
- To make the salad: In a medium skillet, cook the shallots in 2 tablespoons of oil for 5 minutes. Add the beans, stock, rosemary, and pepper and gently cook for 7 to 8 minutes on low.
- Remove the pan from the heat and very gently fold the cherry tomatoes into the bean mixture, taking care not to break them.
- To serve, thinly slice the heirloom or plum tomato and place 4 slices on each plate. Mound the salad in the middle and sprinkle with the remaining oil.
SEARED TUNA STEAKS ON WHITE BEANS WITH GRAPE TOMATOES AND GARLIC CHIPS
Steps:
- Place a medium-size skillet on the stovetop with the 4 tablespoons of EVOO, 4 times around the pan. Add the sliced garlic and spread it out in one layer in the oil. Turn the heat on to medium low to slowly brown the garlic, about 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic chips to a paper-towel-lined plate, leaving the oil in the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium high; add the onions, celery, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onions take on a little color and become nice and tender.
- While the onions are browning, place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Pat the tuna steaks dry and drizzle with a little EVOO, coating the steaks evenly. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear and brown the steaks on one side for 2 minutes, then turn and immediately reduce the heat to medium. Loosely cover the pan with an aluminum foil tent and cook the steaks 5 minutes for rare, 7 minutes for medium. The steaks should be firm but have a little give, and some pink should remain at the center.
- While the tuna is cooking, add the white wine and chicken stock to the onions and celery. Bring up to a bubble and continue to cook for about 3 minutes. Add the white beans and grape tomatoes and continue to cook until the beans and tomatoes are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Finish the beans with the parsley, garlic chips, and lemon juice and stir to distribute.
- To serve, pile a serving of beans on each dinner plate and top with a tuna steak.

Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season tuna generously with salt and pepper. Arrange half of tuna in skillet in a single layer to prevent crowding.

Add another 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and repeat with second batch.
- Wipe out the bottom of the skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until onion is golden brown and soft, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add basil to skillet, and cook, stirring, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hot sauce over tuna just before serving.

Tips:
Use the freshest tuna possible.
The fresher the tuna, the better it will taste. Look for tuna that is bright red or pink in color, and that has a firm texture.
Sear the tuna quickly over high heat.
This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the tuna while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare. Sear the tuna for about 2 minutes per side, or until it is browned.
Don't overcook the tuna.
Tuna is a very delicate fish, and it can easily be overcooked. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough. Cook the tuna for no more than 4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve the tuna with a variety of sides.
Tuna can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, pasta, or salad.
Conclusion:
Seared tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared quickly and easily.
By following the tips above, you can cook a perfect seared tuna steak every time. Serve the tuna with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
