Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • Coarse salt & ground pepper
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup fresh sugar snap peas, strings & stems removed
  • 4 ahi tuna steaks, about 4 oz each
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional- fresh herbs like mint, basil, or parsley.
Instructions
  1. Bring water & pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan. When boiling add pearl couscous & bring back to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, & simmer until tender & water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat & let stand about 10 minutes. Fluff with fork.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms & cook until lightly browning. Reduce heat to medium & add garlic & pea pods to cook stirring occasionally until heated through. Add couscous & cook until heated through. Season with salt & pepper. Transfer to a bowl & cover to keep warm. Wipe pan clean.
  3. Season steaks with salt. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers add tuna & cook until seared on each side. Don't move your steaks so they sear evenly & brown, you can watch them cook from the side. Remove from heat & slice against the grain. Serve atop the couscous & veggies. Season with pepper, lime wedges, & optional fresh herbs.
