Seared Sesame Miso Tuna
With crunchy green veggies.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 heaped Tbsp miso paste
- 2 x 150g (5oz) tuna steaks ideally 2cm/¾inch thick, from sustainable sources
- 4 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 8 spring onions (scallions)
- 150 g (5oz) sugar snap peas
Instructions
- Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat.
- Rub the miso all over the tuna, then pat on the sesame seeds to cover.
- Place in the hot pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear for 1½ minutes on each side, so it’s beautifully golden on the outside but blushing in the middle.
- Remove to a board to rest. Quickly wipe out the pan with a ball of kitchen paper, then return to the heat.
- Trim the spring onions and slice at an angle the same length as the sugar snaps, tossing both into the hot pan with a few drips of red wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt for 2 minutes to lightly catch and char.
- Slice the sesame tuna and serve on top of the veg, drizzled with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.
