Zesty Seared Tuna with Lemon Herb Green Beans

How to make it

1. 1

   Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season them lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Steam or boil the green beans until they are tender crisp. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them very well.

3. 3

   While the beans are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, sear the tuna steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for a lovely medium rare, or cook longer if you prefer. Remove the tuna from the pan and let it rest on a plate.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the cooked green beans, the sliced Kalamata olives, and the zest and juice from one of the lemons. Toss everything gently to combine and warm through.

5. 5

   Serve the perfectly seared tuna alongside your lemon herb green beans. Finish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of juice from the remaining lemon for an extra pop of flavor.
