Fresh tuna steaks are always a treat. Sliced and served on a bed of baby greens, with our flavourful pineapple salsa, they go a long way.
Ingredients
- 1 plum tomato
- 2 green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 cups baby mixed greens
- 2 tuna steaks , about 150 g each
- 1 tsp dark sesame oil
- 2 slices pineapple , preferably fresh
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Meanwhile, finely chop tomato and thinly slice green onion. Place in a bowl and stir in cilantro and chili-garlic sauce. Taste and add salt if needed. Divide greens between 3 or 4 dinner plates.
- Brush both sides of tuna with sesame oil. Place on grill. Lightly brush pineapple slices with vegetable oil and place beside tuna steaks. Barbecue fish for 2 to 3 min per side for medium-rare, or 1 to 2 min for rare. Cook pineapple until grill marks form and it is heated through, about 2 min per side.
- Coarsely chop warm pineapple and stir into tomato mixture. Thinly slice tuna and fan out over baby greens. Spoon salsa over the tuna and greens.
