Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Season 8 oz tuna steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until a golden crust forms. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups mixed greens, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup diced cucumber, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion. Toss with the dressing until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Top the salad with the sliced seared tuna and serve immediately.
