Dill-Mustard-Ranch Tuna Steak and Vegetables

1 6oz. tuna steak

1 med. sweet potato

1 sm. bunch of asparagus

Sauce: 1 part ranch dressing, 1 part seedy-grainy mustard, a good amount of dried dill weed - combine in a small bowl

Scrub and cut potato into ½" crosscuts.  If there's too many for you, give a couple to your dog! 🐶 They love sweet potato - roasted as a dried dog treat, as well as raw.  They're probably not picky about preparation, and these are an excellent source of nutrition for our fur-buddies.

Sear-cook the cross-sections on medium high heat, seasoning, after flipping, with a little fresh ground sea salt with garlic, coarse ground pepper and a couple pinches of organic cane sugar.  Sear tuna steak in some hot butter, cooking about 3 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness and thickness of the steak.  Mine was almost 1½" thick, and after a total of 6 minutes, searing on pretty high heat, it was medium rare.

This was an excellent piece of tuna, so it was like eating it two ways.  Seared and flavorful outside and basically, sushi in the center!

Steam the asparagus in a little water, drain and season.  After cooking the sweet potatoes, I wiped out the pan then put the tuna in the same hot pan with a little fresh butter.  Plate, sauce the tuna and feed your hungry body!  This is for one serving but ingredients can easily be extrapolated, according to the number of people currently hanging out with you.  This entire plate happened within 20 minutes, from start to finish.  Eating really healthy doesn't have to be time or labor intensive.  Also. . .This doesn't have to be a Dinner or a Lunch. . .I would, and often have, eaten this sort of thing for breakfast!  Be creative and Have Fun! . . .Lin
