Ingredients

- 1/8 cup carrot, sliced (1/4 inch slices, cut on bias)
- 1/4 cup arugula
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon grass
- 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, fresh
- 1/4 teaspoons honey
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoons ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoons white pepper
- 1/8 cup low-sodium soy sauce
How to Make
-
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.
