Who says there has to be meat in........ Ahi Tuna??

Well ME actually, it would rather weird to have an ahi tuna steak with no fish in it.

Anyway, my darling husband needs to lose weight (I do too, but for aesthetic reasons rather than being overweight). Over the years he has been slowly putting on more weight and always plans on losing it.

Well today I lost it!!! I told him that as long as he lives under my roof he can eat the food I make for him with no complaints!!

He does this anyway, but I haven't really been cooking in a way that is most conducive for him to lose his weight long term. Also since he started working out of state (and eating at restaurants twice a day) I haven't been cooking for him over the weekend because we go out for date breakfast, date lunch and date dinner. That gets uber expensive and doesn't help him in the slightest.

So no more!!

Tonight I made a seared ahi tuna steak and served it with a salad .

To dress the salad I used olive garden salad dressing, sImply the bestest salad dressing EVER.

I know I mentioned in the first blog post that I'm not a fan of salad dressings. Well this really is my one exception. It has the perfect balance of all the ingredients and tastes nothing like any other salad dressing I have tried in the past. It makes eating salad fun, and a small bit goes a long way; I used 4 tbsp of the salad dressing for the two of us and it would have been ok with only 2 or 3 tbsp.

The tuna turned out great. It was very easy, I just ground some pepper and sprinkled some kosher salt onto both sides of the steaks. I seared them in a small amount of olive oil for 2 minutes on each side. It was then time for eating! Yum :) The steak was slightly crispy on the outside and beautifully pink on the inside. It always amazes me how different tuna tastes when it is cooked. Raw beef and cooked beef taste very similar, but tuna really takes on a strong flavour when cooked.



Now I have to find something to cook for tomorrow. Matt leaves for the airport at 5.40pm and so I"m going to make sure I have an early dinner ready for him so he doesn't eat at the airport.

So stay tuned and, as always, don't forget to kiss YOUR cook!
