Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna on Mixed Greens with Wasabi Vinaigrette

Ok, this one sounds like a lot, but it's really quick and easy to whip up. AND it was delicious! Seriously, I got home from a 10.5 hr day of work at 6:30 and dinner was completely ready by 6:50 with Joe's help at the chopping board :)

Mmm- Doesn't that look good?!


The Greens
It's good to have helping hands to chop up all of the goods while you mix the dressing and sear the tuna. Just dice and chop everything up! In this mix we used:
-Cabbage
-Spinache
-Broccoli
-Cilantro
-Bok Choy stalks
-Cucumber
-shredded Carrots
-sliced Strawberries


Wasabi Vinaigrette 
Combine and Shake Well!!


    Red Rice
    You'll see this dish used time and time again with me, so just try it! It's good with everything!
    • 1 c rice
    • 1 c water
    • 1 can diced tomato (with basil, garlic, or whatever)
    1. Bring to a boil
    2. Reduce heat to LOW, cover, and let simmer 15 without opening the lid!

    Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna
    • 1 eight-oz tuna steak
    • 3 T sesame seeds
    • 1 egg, whipped
    • 3 T olive oil
    1. Dip tuna in egg, then sesame seeds (on both sides)
    2. Sear in a pan with olive oil on medium/ medium high heat on each side for just under 2 minutes each.
    3. Slice going with the grain and lay atop Mixed Greens.
    4. Add a scoop of Red Rice. The hot rice with the cool salad makes a nice wilty and refreshing treat with the Tuna!
    5. Drizzle with Vinaigrette.
      When you sear the Tuna, you'll still see some Pink/Red on the sides when it's time to pull it out of the pan.
