Basil, Lemon, and Sage Seared Tuna Steak with Wild Rice and Steamed Veggies

Okay this one was just me winging it when I was at Fresh Market and saw their Tuna steaks and decided they looked really good.


Ingredients:
Tuna Steak
Box of Wild Rice
Fresh Green Beans
Fresh Broccoli
Basil Leaves
Sage Leaves
Lemon Juice
Olive Oil
Pam or Healthy Choice Spray

I made one portion of Tuna but the veggies and Rice ended up being double portions.

 I chopped up the veggies and put them in a steamer pot. You can also use the microwavable bags.
 
 I made the veggies and the rice and then went to boxing!!!

 Put a tablespoon of oil in your sauté pan and wait to turn on the heat until you have your tuna soaking.
 I used a sage leaf, a tablespoon of lemon juice, a few small basil leaves, and some oil spray for my marinade.
 I put the tuna steak into the marinade in the bowl about 5 minutes before I turned on the heat in the sauté pan.

 Turn heat up to high and wait about 3 minutes to put your tuna in the pan.
 Leave your tuna on the pan for about 3-5 minutes on the first side and then flip.
Leave your tuna on the other side for about the same amount of time. This gives you a hard caramelized outside and a pink inside. If you like your tuna cooked more, turn down the heat and leave on the pan for an extra 1-2 minutes per side.

Enjoy :)
