INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Tuna Steak
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pan, add the quinoa along with water (or low-sodium broth) and bring to a simmer; cover and cook until the grains are fluffy, about 15 minutes. Once cooked, stir in lemon juice, fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the tuna steak dry and season it with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sear the tuna for about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a nice crust forms while keeping the interior slightly rare.
To plate, arrange a serving of lemon-herb quinoa topped with the pan-seared tuna. Add the crispy roasted asparagus on the side and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the tuna for an extra burst of flavor.
