Ingredients

½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (6 ounce) fillets ahi (yellowfin) tuna steaks, sushi-grade if possible
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
¾ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
48 haricots verts (thin, French green beans), trimmed
16 baby carrots, greens trimmed to 1/4-inch
16 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
16 Nicoise, Gaeta, or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chervil sprigs

Steps:

Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss tuna with marinade, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
Pour vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and soy sauce into the bowl of a blender. Add shallot, 1 tablespoon parsley, thyme, dill, honey, Dijon mustard, jalapeno, and ginger. Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
4 cups blood orange juice
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
4 tuna fillets, about 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 blood oranges, segmented
1 cup finely sliced fennel
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 bunches watercress, washed and patted dry
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Steps:

Place a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds and toast for 1 minute. Place both juices and fennel seeds in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in mustard and honey. Heat saute pan or grill pan over high heat. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and brush 1 side of each piece of fish with the glaze. Cook glaze-side down until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn over, brush with more of the glaze and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
Whisk together the sherry, oil and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the orange segments and fennel and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and fold in the parsley. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Heat oil in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Toss in the watercress and cook just until it wilts. Add the vinegar, toss and serve.
