"This is a great tuna steak that pairs so well with the salad. I was at Duke Diet Fitness Center for over a year and I ate this often. It is very good, and so flavorful. This serves 1 person, and is easily adapted to make more by doubling or tripling the ingredients. NOTE: Preparation time DOES NOT include marinating time for fish (1 hour)******"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Marinade tuna steak in teriyaki sauce for 1 hour.
Step 2
Steam carrots and asparagus, until al dente, and shock in an ice bath.
Step 3
Roast jalapeno in a 375 degree oven, until skin is brown. Remove, and place in a covered bowl, for 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a hot saute pan, rapidly toast sesame seeds, garlic, ginger with 1/2 portion of sesame oil.
Step 5
Trim outer leaves of lemongrass, remove base of stem, and slice thin rounds.
Step 6
Remove skin and seeds from the jalapeno, and dice small.
Step 7
Combine lemongrass, jalapeno, asparagus, carrot, semame seeds, and remaining sesame oil, ginger, olive oil, pepper, honey, and lime juice in a large bowl.
Step 8
Grill or sear tuna for 2 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. (I like mine seared on the outside and rare on the inside. Do not overcook, for best flavor).
Step 9
Place arugula down first, followed by the marinated salad, then tuna.
