Seared Tuna Steak Salad: Dinner in 15 minutes

  • Heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet
  • Generously cover one side of the tuna steak in coarsely cracked black pepper and black sesame seeds, sprinkle lightly with salt (a medium sized steak is generally enough for two servings). 
  • Place into hot skillet, peppered side down.
  • Season the other side as before; you can add some garlic slices to the skillet now as well. 
  • Cook each side until it is cooked about a 1/4 inch into the center of the steak (photo). About 3-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove from heat and set aside. 
  • Dress handful of mixed greens in lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper. 
  • Thinly slice an avocado add to greens (add whatever else you’d like too). 
  • When the tuna has cooled enough to cut, slice into 1/4 inch pieces and place on top of the salad. 
  • Dinner!
