Seared Tuna Steaks With Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

SEARED SOY TUNA STEAKS WITH SPRING ONIONS & A GINGER SWEET POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a pan of boiling water and cook until tender.
• Drain then put back in the pot with a knob of butter and the ginger then mash until smooth. Keep warm.
• Heat a little oil in a wide pan and add the onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Move the onions to the edge of the pan and turn up the heat. Add the tuna and cook for 1 minute each side for rare, 2 for medium. Add the soy sauce to the pan and turn the tuna and onions to coat.
• Serve the tuna topped with the onions and the mash on the side.

TUNA STEAKS WITH GARLIC MASH POTATO

Steps:

• Marinate the tuna steaks in some lemon juice and pepper.
• Cut up the potatoes and boil until soft, finely chop or crush garlic cloves.
• When ready, drain water from potatoes and add garlic and a small amount of low fat milk to get desired consistency when mashing.
• Lightly spray grill or pan with oil and heat, throw tuna steaks on and cook to desired level. I usually like to keep it pink in the middle.
• Mix soy sauce and wasabi and serve in a small dish on the side or over the tuna when served.
• For the salad: Combine rocket or mixed leaves, cucumber, Spanish onion and shaved parmesan in a large bowl.
• Toss with some balsamic vinegar and serve with tuna and mashed potato.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH RUSTIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the mashed potato, cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, not too small. If they are large, quarter them and if they are small, halve them.
• Put the potato chunks in a large saucepan of boiling water, and simmer gently until they are absolutely tender - they should take about 25 minutes.
• When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and place back in the empty pan. Add the mayonnaise to the potatoes at this point and using a wooden spoon (not a masher or whisk) vigorously mash them. The finished mash should not be completely smooth, but a combination of creamy and chunky mash.
• For the tuna steaks, rub olive oil in to both sides then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a pan and chargrill for two minutes on each side.
