Pan-Seared Zesty Tuna Steaks
Fresh tuna steaks pan-seared to a tender medium-rare, finished with a bright lemon-herb zest that provides a vibrant citrus snap.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz tuna steak
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
1.5 cup green beans
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp, golden sear.
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steak.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot pan and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes, then drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
While the tuna rests, steam the green beans for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Serve the sliced tuna steak alongside the steamed green beans and cooked quinoa.
