    List of Ingredients




    Pan-Seared Orange Tuna w/Beans

    2 tablespoons grated orange zest
    2 tablespoons firmly-packed brown sugar
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    2 teaspoons ground mustard
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    2 teaspoons finely minced fresh basil leaves
    1 tablespoon coarse Kosher or sea salt
    2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
    4 (4 to 6-ounce) 1-inch thick sushi quality tuna steaks
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1 tablespoon champagne or white wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    4 cups cooked white beans
    1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

    In a small bowl, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, garlic, mustard,
    cumin, basil, salt and pepper. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for
    seasoning the white beans. rub the remaining mix on the tuna, coating them
    well.
    In a heavy bottomed sauté pan or a cast-iron pan, warm the olive oil.
    Increase the heat to high and place the tuna in the pan. Sear for 1 minutes,
    then turn over carefully, reducing the heat to medium. Sear the other side
    for 1 more minutes until medium rare. Remove from heat.
    NOTE: To grill the tuna steaks - prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling, and
    brush the grill with oil. Place the grill about three inches above the
    coals. Grill the tuna for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for rare, 5 to 6
    for medium rare.
    In a large saucepan, whisk the orange juice, vinegar, and reserved spices.
    Bring to a simmer. Add the white beans and basil, tossing well until hot.
    Place the beans on a large platter or individual serving plates; drizzle
    with olive oil. Place tuna steak over the beans and serve.
    Makes 4 servings.
