1
Prepare the Polenta
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 30 minutes). Stir in Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Keep warm.
2
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, then remove from heat. Drizzle with soy sauce.
3
Make the Salad
In a bowl, combine heirloom tomatoes, crabmeat, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
4
Plate the Dish
On each plate, serve a portion of truffled polenta, top with seared tuna, and arrange heirloom tomato and crabmeat salad on the side.
