Zesty Lemon Pepper Seared Tuna
High-heat seared tuna steaks crusted in cracked black pepper and lemon zest, served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Yellowfin tuna steak
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Cracked black pepper
0.5 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry and season both sides with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh lemon zest.
Heat half the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the tuna for 1-2 minutes per side for a rare to medium-rare center, then set aside to rest.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the asparagus with minced garlic until bright green and slightly charred.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and place it in a bowl.
Slice the tuna against the grain and arrange it over the quinoa alongside the asparagus.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
