Description

Imagine a vibrant and nourishing bowl, ready to brighten your midday. This recipe crafts a delightful tuna meal prep, perfect for those seeking a healthful and flavorful lunch. This recipe yields two generous servings, easily multiplied to stock your refrigerator with ready-to-eat meals for the week.

Each bowl begins with a bed of subtly flavored cauliflower rice, its light and airy texture providing the perfect foundation for the star of the show: seared ahi tuna. The tuna, cooked to a tender medium-rare, boasts a rich, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. Its delicate texture is a delightful contrast to the slight bite of the cauliflower rice.

Adding another layer of lusciousness, slices of ripe avocado fan across the top, their creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor complementing the tuna beautifully. A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a subtle crunch and nutty aroma, while a scattering of fresh green onion and cilantro provides a vibrant burst of freshness and herbaceousness. The green onion offers a mild, oniony zest, while the cilantro contributes a bright, citrusy note.

For those who enjoy a little heat, a dash of your favorite hot sauce can add a fiery kick, awakening the senses and enhancing the overall flavor profile. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity and adaptability. Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as shredded carrots for a touch of sweetness and crunch, or edamame for added protein and texture.

The possibilities are endless! This tuna meal prep is not only delicious but also visually appealing, making it a joy to eat. The vibrant colors and contrasting textures create a satisfying and wholesome meal that you can look forward to enjoying.

Instructions

    1.
    Arrange two 4-oz tuna steaks on a flat surface. Season the exposed sides of the tuna with half of the provided seasonings. Flip the steaks and repeat the seasoning process on the other side, gently pressing the seasonings to ensure they adhere.
    2.
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the seasoned tuna steaks in the hot pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
    3.
    Sear the tuna steaks for 2 minutes on one side. Then, flip them and cook for another 2 minutes to achieve a medium-rare center. Transfer the seared tuna to a clean surface to rest.
    4.
    Wipe the pan clean and return it to medium-high heat. Melt coconut oil in the pan, then add the cauliflower rice. Toss the rice with a spatula until it's well coated with the coconut oil and lightly golden.
    5.
    To assemble the meal prep bowls, divide the cauliflower rice between two containers. Slice each tuna steak and arrange the slices in each bowl. Add 1 ½ oz of sliced avocado to each bowl just before serving.
