Ingredients (2 Persons)
Mixed Salad
350 gr Tuna Steak
50 ml Olive Oil
Fresh Basil
Pepper
½ Lemon
Fresh Parsley
Sea Salt
10 Parts of Sun-Dried Tomato
Fresh Chives
1 Tomato
1/5 Cucumber
1 Avocado
Equipment
1 Grill Pan
1 Salad Bowl
Preparation
1. Wash the salad sorts of choice, the tomato, the cucumber and the herbs.
2. Put the salad in a bowl.
3. Chop the different herbs and add to the bowl.
4. Season the tuna steaks with pepper (I prefer white pepper, freshly ground).
5. Put the grill pan on the stove to let it heat.
6. Meanwhile cut in cubes the cucumber, the sun-dried tomatoes, the tomato and the avocado and add to the salad bowl.
7. Put the tuna steaks in the grill pan.
8. While one side of the tuna steak cooks, divide the mixed salad on two plates and sprinkle with some lemon juice and the olive oil.
9. Turn over the tuna and grill the other side (tuna should be handled as a steak, I prefer it rare, but medium rare or medium is also okay, please don’t serve it well done cause the tuna will get too dry). Consider a 2 minutes cooking time per side.
10. Put the tuna steak on top of the salad and season with some sea-salt.
11. Serve with some ciabatta or focaccia.
TIP: For garnishing keep some tomato cubes separated or my favorite, add some different colored cherry tomatoes.
TIP: For those who are cheese fans, you can add some flakes of Parmesan cheese on top
