Blackened Tuna Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Pomegranate Red Wine Reduction

   In a saucepan, combine pomegranate juice and red wine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce by half, stirring occasionally. Once reduced, set aside.

2. 2

   Make Whipped Goat Cheese

   In a bowl, blend goat cheese and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Tuna

   Rub the tuna steaks with olive oil and coat them with Cajun seasoning. Ensure they are evenly covered.

4. 4

   Blacken the Tuna

   Heat a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, place a bed of arugula. Top with the sliced pear, then place the blackened tuna on top. Add a dollop of whipped goat cheese and drizzle the pomegranate red wine reduction over the dish.
