Best Peppered Tuna On Spicy Lima Beans Recipes

PEPPER SEARED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine black pepper and sesame seeds in bowl.
• Press tuna steaks into mixture, until coated.
• Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
• Add tuna steaks and sear about 1- 1 1/2 minutes each side (I like mine rare in the center, longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).
• Transfer steaks to tented aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add a touch more oil to pan, then add soy sauce and sherry.
• Add garlic and most of green onion (reserving some of the tops).
• If too much has boiled off, add a bit of red wine if necessary.
• Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
• Spoon sauce over tuna steaks, and sprinkle remaining green onion on top.
• Note: if you want to make more of this sauce, it tastes fantastic, and goes great with rices, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc.
• In the photo, I cross-cut Italian bread, drizzled with olive oil and briefly toasted.

PEPPERED TUNA ON SPICY LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare broiler, if using.
• Wash and dry tuna, and coat with black pepper.
• Cook lima beans with 1/4 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Broil or grill tuna, following the Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.
• Mince garlic, and when lima beans are cooked, drain, mix with garlic, lemon juice and hot-pepper flakes.
• When tuna is cooked, season with salt and arrange on a bed of lima beans.
