SEARED TUNA WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

What you need:
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lb tuna steak (preferably sushi grade)
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers (from water-packed jar)
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • Salt and ground black pepper
What you get:
  • Muscle-building protein and heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids from the tuna.
  • Beta-carotene and vitamin C from the red peppers.
How you do it:
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the tuna with salt and pepper.
  • Add the tuna to the skillet and cook for three minutes per side, until almost cooked through (the fish will be pink in the center, so cook it longer if you want it well done).
  • In a blender, combine the roasted red peppers, chicken broth, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Process until the mixture is smooth.
  • Spoon the sauce over the tuna just before serving.
