Tuna Steak with Green Asparagus and Hollandaise Sauce

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This elegant dish brings together perfectly seared tuna steaks, tender green asparagus, and a silky homemade hollandaise sauce that comes together in just 15 minutes. The trickiest part is maintaining a gentle temperature when whisking the egg yolks over the water bath so they don't scramble, and then carefully drizzling in the butter to keep the sauce smooth and glossy. Once you've got the sauce down, you're looking at a restaurant-quality meal that feels fancy but requires surprisingly little fuss.

  1. 1/4

    Prepare the fish and asparagus

    Season each tuna steak simply with salt and pepper. Sear it in a hot pan for one minute on each side. Trim the dried-out, tough ends off the asparagus and lightly fry it in a knob of butter. Again, just season with salt and white pepper.

  2. 2/4

    Whisk the egg yolks

    Place 3 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of white wine in a bowl set over a water bath. Whisk with a whisk, making sure the water in the pot never boils — otherwise the yolks will scramble. Add a heaped teaspoon of mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper.

    Once the mixture has thickened, slowly drizzle in the melted, slightly cooled butter in a thin stream, whisking constantly.

About this recipe

You'll already find one recipe on the blog combining tuna steak and green asparagus. There I chose potatoes as the side, but this time I've swapped them for hollandaise sauce instead. It's a fairly classic pairing, this one, simply because it works beautifully and there's nothing complicated about it.
