Directions for: Seared Tuna Nicoise

Ingredients

For the Salad

1 lb(s) baby potatoes, halved

1 handful fresh green beans, cut into 2 or 3 pieces each

1 pint cherry tomaotes

For the Dressing

cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup pitted black olives (Kalamata style is best)

zest and juice of 2 lemons

1 Tbsp dried oregano

For the Tuna

2 6 oz tuna steaks

1 splash refined safflower oil

Directions

For the Salad

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and blanch the potatoes then the green beans. Simply toss them in individually and cook until they become tender, about 10 minutes for the potatoes and 2 to 3 minutes for the beans. Immediately place the cooked vegetables in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and cool quickly.

For the Dressing

1. Pulse all the ingredients smooth in a blender.

For the Tuna

1. Preheat a heavy cast iron skillet or saut pan over medium-high heat then splash in the safflower oil. Quickly sear the tuna steaks until they are brown and crusty on the exterior but still cool and raw in the center, about 2 minutes on each side.

2. Cut the cooled potatoes and green beans in half and transfer to a medium size bowl. Add the cherry tomatoes and toss all the vegetables with the dressing. Slice the seared steaks, share among plates and pair with a generous helping of salad. Serve and share!
