"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.

Very good -- we increased this recipe to serve 4 without any problems. I did leave out the lemon grass and jalapeño and used mixed greens for the arugula but otherwise made as directed. Served with grapes. Very good dinner which we all enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
