Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sushi-grade tuna steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Sliced avocado for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Pat the tuna steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the tuna steak for 1-2 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- While the tuna rests, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, chili powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice among two serving bowls.
- Arrange the shredded red cabbage, sliced cucumber, chopped cilantro, corn kernels, and black beans around the rice in each bowl.
- Slice the seared tuna against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place the tuna on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle the dressing over the entire bowl.
- Garnish with sliced avocado and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- You can prepare the rice and chop the vegetables ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite taco toppings like salsa, pickled onions, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
