Seared Tuna

Ingredients

• Tuna steaks – 6 pieces 2-3 inch thick .These ones I got are wild caught frozen tuna ,very good quality.
• Olive Oil – 3 table spoons

• Low Sodium – Soya sauce

• Salt ,black pepper , paprika, cayenne pepper according to your preferences

Procedure

Defrost/thaw the fish in the fridge one day before cooking if you buy it frozen . Combine Soya sauce ,sesame oil, orange juice and the spices and add the marinate mixture on the defrosted fish . Let sit marinated for about an hour in the fridge. Take the fish out of the fridge 10 minutes before cooking for even heat distribution .

In a frying pan on high heat add 3 table spoons of olive oil ,once sizzling add the tuna steaks cook each side for about 2 minutes for a medium raw or 4 minute for well done .

Add soy sauce, sesame seeds for garnish.

Side Vegetables

Ingredients

• Green beans

• Butter 2 table spoons
• Olive Oil 2 table spoons
• You can also use any vegetable you wish such as zucchini ,broccoli ,asparagus ,etc..

Procedure

In a large frying pan heat the olive oil and butter until melted ,add the green beans ,mushrooms and any other vegetable you would like to add as a side dish ,sauté and season it with salt and pepper . I like my veggies more crisp so 4-5 minutes gives me the perfect and fresh crisp that I like .

You can also have mashed potato (puree ) or rice as an additional side dish .
