Seared Ahi Tuna with Brown Rice and Mango Salsa
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 ahi tuna steaks (6 ounces each)
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (such as broccoli, carrots, and snap peas)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeno pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Season the ahi tuna steaks with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned and the inside is still pink. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
- In a separate pot, steam the mixed vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- To serve, divide the cooked brown rice among 4 plates. Top each with a seared ahi tuna steak and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables.
