Pistachio Crusted Tuna w/Brie
Ingredients:
Ahi or Yellow Fin Tuna - 6-8 oz. steak per person
Pistachio Nuts (roasted/salted) - crushed - 3 Tbsp per steak
Brie Cheese - 2 oz. per steak
1/2 c. Butter
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt/pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Season steaks w/salt & pepper. Heat oil in non-stick pan over high
heat. Sear Tuna on both sides. Reduce heat to medium. Place crushed
pistachios on tuna. Top with 2 oz. (2 slices) of brie cheese. Add
butter and lemon to pan. Place lid on pan for 1 minute to melt cheese
and butter. Tuna is best served medium rare. If your desired doneness
of tuna is more than medium-rare, after flipping tuna and adding nuts
and cheese, turn flame down to low, cover with lid and cook longer.
Thicker cuts of tuna are best for rare to medium-rare doneness; thinner
cuts work nicer for medium to medium-well preference. Adjust
ingredients to desired taste and amount to be served.
