Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Season the Tuna
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. For a zesty twist, add a sprinkle of garlic powder.
Sear the Tuna
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your desired doneness.
Mash the Sweet Potatoes
In a bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes with a fork. Add a splash of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor. Mix until creamy.
Plate Your Dish
On a plate, create a bed of sweet potato mash. Place the seared tuna on top. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.
Enjoy!
