Ingredients


1 x Tuna Steak

500g x Tomatoes

2 x Limes

1 x Fresh Ginger (thumb-sized piece)

2 x Red Chillies

1 x Handful of Coriander (keep 2 or 3 sprigs back to garnish)

2 x Cloves of Garlic

200ml x Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt

Black Pepper


Method


1. Begin by slicing the tomatoes using a sharp knife. Randomly arrange the tomato slices onto a plate until the full plate is completely covered. Set to one side while you make the salsa.


2. To make the salsa, roughly chop the coriander, including the stalks and place into a mixing bowl. Next, remove the seeds and finely chop the chillies and add them to the bowl followed by 150ml of the extra virgin olive oil.


3. Now, take your limes and squeeze the juice into the salsa.


4. Next, peel the ginger and two cloves of garlic. Grate both the ginger and garlic into the mixing bowl using a fine grater or Microplane. Season with salt and pepper and give the salsa a good stir.


5. Drizzle the tuna steak with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and massage it to coat the whole steak. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place the steak into a smoking hot frying pan and cook on each side for 1 minute. Cook for longer if you prefer your tuna well done.


6. Remove the tuna steak from the pan and allow it to rest on a plate. While still warm cover the tuna with the coriander and lime salsa.


7. Next take the plate of tomatoes and drizzle with salsa, followed by a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Slice up the tuna steak and place it onto the tomatoes. Drizzle more of the salsa over the sliced tuna and scatter with a few sprigs of coriander.


Enjoy!
