Tuna Steak with Potatoes and Green Asparagus
· 4 servings
Season the tuna
Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Prepare the asparagus
Trim off the dry ends from the bottom of the green asparagus. Melt some butter in a pan and add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Cook gently, turning the asparagus occasionally. 3 to 4 minutes is enough.
Sear the tuna
Place the tuna steaks onto a hot griddle pan. Grill for one minute, or up to a minute and a half, on each side. The centre should stay juicy - tuna only needs a very short time to cook through completely, and that's not what you want.
Serving
Serve everything together, with the asparagus finished off with a drizzle of creamy balsamic glaze.
