Seared Tuna Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Carrot Ginger Puree

   In a saucepan, combine chopped carrots, grated ginger, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender, blending until smooth. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Spice Rub

   In a small bowl, mix together cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks.

3. 3

   Sear the Tuna

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

4. 4

   Braised Mint

   In the same skillet, add fresh mint leaves and a splash of water. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until wilted.

5. 5

   Plate and Serve

   On each plate, spread a generous amount of carrot ginger puree, top with the seared tuna, and garnish with braised mint. Serve immediately.
