Sides for tuna steak?

Question

I am making a tuna steak tonight, and I never had one so I'm unsure of good sides to use, so does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a bunch of potatoes and carrots, so I would prefer recipes using those two ingredients.

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables

Answer 2

If you have rice available that would be great to have with the tuna. But, if you do not either make baked potatoes, or brown the potatoes and carrots in a skillet with butter and serve on the side as is. Or you could make a little pasta and add butter and garlic or parsley to it for flavor and color and serve. It sounds like you are trying to eat healthy, so don't put too much food on the plate. What you have is fine.

Answer 3

I love rice and black beans as a side for fish.

You can do steam carrots with a little honey-butter glaze. Melt 1 Tbsp honey and 2 Tbsp butter mix then coat steamed carrots.

Garlic sliced potatoes is good to. Add 2 crushed garlic cloves to 2 Tbsp Olive oil in a suate pan over med-high heat. Thin slice your potatoes and cook in hot oil until tender-crisp.

Answer 4

I know this sounds odd, but it's really good. It's a bad knockoff of an Asian meal. I simply sautee off my tuna steaks in salt and pepper. In another pan I sautee up 1 bag of cole slaw mix (not the dressing) in a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. You only want it to cook about 3 minutes. Then add about 1/4 container of teriyaki sauce. Cook about another 3 minutes. All done. In another pan add about 1/2 a bottle of the teriyaki sauce and let simmer until it reduces in half. Boil up some angel hair until it's about 2/3 of the way done in chicken stock. Toss in a pan with about 2 tbsp. of the reduced teriyaki, about 2 tbsp. soy sauce, a few sprinkles of powdered ginger and 1/4 c. of the pasta water. Let this cook on high for about 10 minutes. Finish with a little sesame oil off the heat. I almost forgot use the reduced teriyaki on top of the tuna.
