Ingredients

  • 225 g Ahi tuna
  • 5 g cracked black pepper
  • 60 ml lemon juice
  • 5 g Dijon mustard
  • 120 ml olive oil
  • 60 g green beans
  • 60 g diced potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 15 ml red wine vinegar

Method

  1. Prepare the citronette by emulsifying lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until balanced and bright.
  2. Steam the green beans and boil the potatoes until tender, then cool rapidly to preserve texture and color.
  3. Crust the Ahi tuna evenly with cracked black pepper.
  4. Sear the tuna quickly on all sides in a very hot pan, keeping the center rare to medium-rare.
  5. Marinate the red onions briefly with red wine vinegar and a touch of salt.
  6. Arrange the vegetables on the plate, slice the tuna neatly, and finish with lemon citronette.
Chef’s Note: This dish depends on precision. Keep the tuna cool before searing, use a very hot pan, and slice cleanly for the best presentation and texture.
