Tuna Steak with Potatoes and Green Asparagus

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This quick and delicious lunch comes together in just 9 minutes, with boiling potatoes taking up most of the time. The tuna and asparagus are where the real action happens — they both need just a few quick minutes in the pan to stay juicy and tender, so timing is key to keeping this meal from becoming overcooked and disappointing.

  1. 1/4

    Season the tuna

    Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2/4

    Prepare the asparagus

    Trim off the dried ends of the green asparagus stalks. Melt the butter in a pan and add the green asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, then add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Sauté gently, turning the asparagus occasionally. 3 to 4 minutes is enough.

  3. 3/4

    Sear the tuna

    Place the tuna steaks in a hot grill pan. Sear for 1 minute on each side, no more than 1½ minutes. The inside needs to stay juicy — tuna only needs a very short time to cook through, and fully cooked through isn't ideal.

About this recipe

A simple lunch ready in just a few minutes, yet with the most delicious ingredients on your plate. In today's lunch idea, boiling the potatoes actually takes the longest. Both the green asparagus and the tuna only need a couple of minutes in the pan, since long cooking doesn't do them any favours — quite the opposite, it ruins them. So once again, this is my favourite kind of "cooking for busy moms."
