Best Seared Red And Black Pepper Crusted Tuna With Pineapple Red Chile Sauce And Seasoned French Fries Recipes

SEARED TUNA WITH CHILE-PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the rice, 2 1/2 cups water and a big pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir, then cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and the scallion whites to the rice and stir; set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine the chile pepper, pineapple juice and lime juice in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until reduced to a thin glaze, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and wipe out the skillet. Toss the cabbage, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and a pinch of salt in another small bowl; set aside.
• Season the tuna with salt on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the reserved skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add the tuna and cook until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Divide the rice among shallow bowls. Slice the tuna and lay over the rice along with the cabbage and avocado; drizzle the sauce on top. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and corn nuts.

PEPPER-CRUSTED TUNA

Steps:

• Season the tuna with salt on both sides, then press the peppercorns into both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet until almost smoking. Add the tuna and lower the heat to medium. Sear the tuna until browned on the outside but still rare in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Thinly slice the tuna and fan the slices onto 4 plates. Serve immediately.

SEARED TUNA IN BLACK PEPPER CRUST

Steps:

• Beat the lime juice, marjoram and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil together. Set aside.
• Trim any dark areas from the tuna, then cut it into four equal pieces, trimming them a little if necessary to make four rectangular logs. Press the cracked black pepper over the outside of the pieces of fish.
• Heat all but a teaspoon of the remaining olive oil plus the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the fish in the skillet (to avoid splattering) and sear each piece for barely a minute, then turn and continue to sear the fish pieces briefly on each of the remaining three sides. Remove the fish to a warm plate. The fish should be rare in the middle.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Add the spinach and saute it for a few minutes, until the spinach is barely wilted. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper and continue to saute until the spinach is wilted but is still a bright green and the beans are completely heated through.
• Divide the spinach mixture equally among four dinner plates. Cut the blocks of seared tuna into slices one-half-inch thick and array the slices on top of the spinach. Briefly beat the vinaigrette, then drizzle the vinaigrette around the tuna and the spinach. The plates are now ready to be served.
