Ingredients

  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp fresh root ginger grated
  • 240 g Waitrose 1 Yellowfin Tuna Steaks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 carrots peeled
  • 100 g Essential Waitrose Spinach
  • 15 g pistachios toasted and chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  1. For the dressing, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, sherry vinegar, honey and ginger; set aside. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. 

  2. Brush the tuna steaks with the olive oil and season; griddle for 1-2 minutes on each side until the juices run clear, then set aside.

  3. Pare long strips of carrot using a vegetable peeler and toss with the spinach and half the dressing. Divide between 2 plates. Top with the tuna, then scatter over the pistachios and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the remaining dressing before serving.

Recipe Notes

Dry toast the pistachios and sesame seeds separately in a frying pan. Toast extra and store in airtight containers for sprinkling over salads, noodles and rice dishes.
