Ingredients

  • 150g Tuna Steak
  • 120g basmati rice
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 80g red pepper
  • 2 tsp jerk seasoning
  • 80g pineapple
  • 15g lime
  • 15g spring onions
  • fresh thyme

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sweetcorn and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sear the tuna steak in a very hot pan for 60-90 seconds per side, keeping the centre pink, then slice.

  4. 4

    Rub the protein in jerk seasoning and lime juice. Griddle the pineapple slices for 2 minutes each side until charred, then dice into a quick salsa with spring onion.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the sweetcorn and peppers for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: basmati rice first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh thyme.
