Seared Tuna Niçoise with Green Beans and Soft-Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• 500 g fresh tuna steaks
• 200 g fine green beans
• 4 eggs
• 200 g cherry tomatoes
• 80 g black olives
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 4 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. 1

   Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Cook eggs for 7 minutes, then transfer to cold water, peel and halve.

2. 2

   Blanch green beans in the same boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and refresh under cold water.

3. 3

   Whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar and 3 tbsp olive oil to make the dressing. Season well.

4. 4

   Brush tuna steaks with remaining olive oil and season. Sear in a hot griddle pan for 90 seconds each side so they remain pink in the centre.

5. 5

   Arrange green beans, halved cherry tomatoes and olives on a large platter. Nestle in the egg halves.

6. 6

   Slice tuna and lay on top. Drizzle dressing over everything and serve straight away.
