Ingredients

• 2 pieces fresh tuna steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup green beans
• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes, then cut them into halves. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, trim the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to preserve their color and set aside.

Step 3

Season the tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 minced clove of garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add the cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, 1 minced clove of garlic, dijon mustard, and chopped parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Toss the cooked potatoes, green beans, and sautéed cherry tomatoes in the herb dressing until well coated.

Step 7

Plate the vegetable mixture, and top each serving with a seared tuna steak. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Jake's Tuna Dinner!
