Ingredients
-
2 (6 ounce) tuna fillets
-
1/8 cup poppy seed
-
1/8 cup ground pepper
-
2 cups roma tomatoes, cored,seeded and diced
-
1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
-
1/4 cup rice vinegar
-
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
-
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
1/3 cup olive oil
-
1/3 cup green onion, ends cut off and remaining portion diced
-
1/4 cup shallot, diced
Instructions
- Place shallots, green onion and tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Add sherry and rice vinegars.
- Add salt and olive oil; stir well.
- Set aside.
- (I made this mixture ahead of time and let set for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to mix, but this is not necessary).
- Roll tuna fillet in poppyseed-peppercorn mixture.
- In a well-heated pan, sear tuna on both sides to desired temperature (approx. 1-2 minutes per side, so that the tuna is very pink on the inside).
- Place tuna on a plate and top with tomato mixture.
- Enjoy!
