SEARED TUNA WITH
CHILE-PINEAPPLE SAUCE
ACTIVE: 35 min l TOTAL: 35 min l SERVES: 4
1½ cups jasmine rice
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1½ teaspoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
½ to 1 Fresno chile pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat)
¾ cup pineapple juice
Juice of 1 lime
1½ cups thinly sliced red cabbage
2 tuna steaks (about 1¼ pounds total)
1 avocado, thinly sliced
½ cup salted corn nuts, lightly crushed
- Combine the rice, 2½ cups water and a big pinch of salt in a
medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Stir, then cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid
is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add
1½ teaspoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and the scallion
whites to the rice and stir; set aside to cool slightly. - Meanwhile, combine the chile pepper, pineapple juice and lime
juice in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a
simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until reduced to a thin
glaze, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and wipe
out the skillet. Toss the cabbage, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar
and a pinch of salt in another small bowl; set aside. - Season the tuna with salt on both sides. Heat the remaining
2 tablespoons coconut oil in the reserved skillet over high heat
until almost smoking. Add the tuna and cook until well browned,
1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. - Divide the rice among shallow bowls. Slice the tuna and lay
over the rice along with the cabbage and avocado; drizzle the
sauce on top. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and corn nuts.
