Golden Pan-Seared Tuna with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared ahi tuna steak crusted with cracked pepper and lemon zest, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender green beans.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Green beans
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Pat the ahi tuna steak dry with paper towels and season all sides with sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a perfect rare-to-medium-rare center.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board to rest while you prepare the sides.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and green beans, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Add the cooked quinoa, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the skillet, tossing everything together until heated through.
Slice the tuna steak into thick strips against the grain and serve immediately over the zesty quinoa and bean mixture.
