Pan-Seared Zesty Tuna Steaks
Pan-seared tuna steaks marinated in a bright lemon-garlic infusion, served with fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus for a vibrant, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.25 oz Yellowfin tuna steak
0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.25 tsp Ghee
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the tuna steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, coating both sides evenly; let it marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot and slightly smoking.
Sear the tuna steak for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done.
While the tuna is searing, steam the asparagus spears for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp, then toss them with the ghee.
Serve the seared tuna steak over the warm fluffy quinoa with the buttery asparagus on the side.
