Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 3 oz. sushi-grade yellowfin tuna steaks
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces haricot verts, trimmed
  • juice and zest from 1 lime
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
  • 4 scallions, sliced thin
  • black sesame seeds, for garnish

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet under medium high heat. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. If you want a nice medium rare, I'd go a little under 2 minutes. As you can see from the picture above, I went a little over and got a small margin of rarity. Let tuna rest on cutting board for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, lime zest, garlic, and wasabi. You may have to add a little water also if there's not enough liquid. Add mixture to the haricot verts, along with the scallions.
  • Thinly slice tuna and serve with haricot verts. Top with black sesame seeds!
