It takes just 10 minutes to cook this seared tuna with lime and coriander salsa.
Add a zingy flavour to your tuna steaks by marinating them in lime cordial for 15 minutes before cooking. The sharpness of the lime and meaty texture of the fish pair perfectly together.

Method
- Put 2tbsp of the lime cordial into a shallow dish with 2tbsp of the olive oil. Season with a little salt and black pepper.
- Add the tuna steaks, turn them to coat, then cover and leave to marinate for about 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa by mixing the remaining lime cordial with the red onion, chilli, cucumber and coriander. Season. Cover until ready to serve.
- Cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain well and mix with the tomatoes and remaining olive oil.
- Heat a char-grill pan or pre-heat the grill. Char-grill or grill the tuna steaks on a high heat for about 2 mins per side, or a little longer if you prefer the tuna to be cooked throughout. Serve with the green beans and salsa.
