Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 lb Potatoes
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp (plus more to taste) Salt
- 0.5 tsp (plus more to taste) Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a large pot of water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince 4 cloves of garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Season the tuna steaks with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lime juice, rubbing the seasoning evenly over each piece.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing based on your preferred doneness. Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic, 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and milk to reach your desired texture.
Plate the garlic mashed potatoes and place a tuna steak on top of each serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome and flavorful meal.
