Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the finely chopped parsley, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil to create the sauce.
Steam the green beans for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green, then set aside.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the tuna in the hot skillet and sear for 90 seconds per side for a rare center, forming a golden crust.
Slice the tuna against the grain and serve immediately over the warm quinoa and green beans, drizzled with the lemon-herb sauce.
