Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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!
