Ingredients

  • 150g Tuna Steak
  • 120g quinoa
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 30g bbq sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3g garlic
  • 10g spring onions

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  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

    Mix the BBQ sauce with smoked paprika and garlic. Brush over the protein for the last few minutes of cooking so it chars without burning.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and tuna steak, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the spring onions.
