Ingredients

  • * Tuna Steaks: 2 6oz each [170g]
  • * Avocado: 1 large diced
  • * Cherry tomatoes: ½ cup 120 ml, diced
  • * Fresh cilantro: ¼ cup 60 ml, chopped
  • * Lime juice: 2 tbsp 30 ml

  • * Red onion: ¼ cup 60 ml, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil.
  • Carefully lay the tuna steaks in the pan. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Aim for a pink center for the best texture and flavor of **Seared Tuna with Avocado Salsa**.
  • Once seared, remove the tuna from the pan and set aside.
  • For the avocado salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Give it a gentle mix.
  • Season the salsa with salt and pepper. Adjust according to taste.
  • Let it sit for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.

Notes

1. Always opt for sushi-grade tuna for searing. This ensures not just flavor but safety.
2. **Seared Tuna with Avocado Salsa** is best when the salsa is freshly made. Avoid making it way in advance.
3. When searing, make sure the pan is hot enough to avoid the tuna sticking.
