GRILLED CITRUS TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO AND SPINACH

 GRILLED CITRUS TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO AND SPINACH

Dinner was so good tonight, dinner seemed straight out of a restaurant. Five stars. So good.

 

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• juice of 1 lime, plus the zest
• 1 tsp freshly minced ginger
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbs. soy sauce
• 4 cups spinach
• 1 tuna steak
• 1 tsp sugar

 

Instructions:

1. Season both sides of the tuna with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbs. oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, zest and sugar. Add the fish and marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
3. In a small skillet heat the last Tbs of oil. Add the spinach and wilt slightly. Toss in a teeny pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Remove the fish from the marinade and grill (or sear) for 2 minutes on each side. Keep it rare in the center.
5. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and reduce until it becomes thick, 2 minutes.
6. Top the wilted spinach with the grilled fish, followed by the sliced avocado and a nice drizzle of the reduction. Enjoy your dinner!
