Pan-Seared Tuna with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared Ahi tuna steaks served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus, finished with a vibrant and zesty lemon-herb butter sauce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ahi tuna steak
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the tuna steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare center.
Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board while you prepare the sides.
In the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee and whisk in the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley until fragrant.
Slice the tuna against the grain and serve it over the warm cooked quinoa alongside the roasted asparagus.
Drizzle the zesty lemon-herb sauce over the tuna and vegetables before serving.
