Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  • 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!

  • Dig in and savor the delightful combination of flavors. Share with friends or keep it all to yourself—no judgment here!
