Is there something better than a fresh tuna steak? And besides the amazing taste it is so easy and fast to prepare. This time I served it with red lentils vegetable and a spicy dip. As starter we had lebanese bread and self made Hummus. Very nice and uncomplicated receipe! In case you have more time a pistachio-crusted tuna steak is also very recommendable. But this is another story... ENJOY!!!

For the Red Lentils Vegetables:
1. Step:
Peel the onion, garlic glove and 100 gram potatoes and dice it. Melt 2

Season the tuna liberally with salt, pepper and
if you like some lemon juice. When the pan is hot, add a drizzle of olive oil
and then the tuna steaks. Sear the tuna steaks for 1 minute each side for rare
or 2 for medium. I prefer it when the outside is browned but the inside is very
rare. Serve with fresh lemon. Et voila!
