Ingredients

  • 2 6 ounce pieces of Ahi Tuna
  • 1/2 cup mint
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 1/3- cup scallions
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 jalapeno
  • Juice of a lime
  • 1/3 cup of chicken or veggie broth
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus a little extra to rub on your tuna
  • A fat pinch of salt and some pepper

Instructions

  • Triple Herb SauceStart by pulsing jalapeno and scallions in a food processor until finely minced. Add in mint, cilantro, parsley, scallions, and walnuts; pulse until finely chopped.
  • Add lime juice and broth, blend until paste begins to form. Finish it off with olive oil and salt. yum!
  • *You may need a little less or more broth, youll have to play. Also, if youre not crazy about spice, start with just a little jalapeno and then taste your way to the perfect spiciness!
  • Simply Seared TunaIn a perfect world you would want to use a cast iron pan for this recipe, but I dont own one. I used a Calphalon One iodized pan and was perfectly happy with the results.
  • Heat pan over a medium high heat. While youre pan is heating up, rub your tuna steaks with olive oil and season one side with salt and pepper.
  • Once your pan is good and hot, add tuna to the pan and season the opposite side. For medium rare tuna youre only gonna need a minute or so on each side, so dont go to far. If you like youre tuna more well done, then by all means, let it go a little longer. Flip and cook other side.
  • Plate tuna and top with Triple Herb Sauce enjoy!
