Seared Tuna, Crispy Broccoli + Pink Tahini

The third recipe of my reboot series, this seared tuna dish is simple, delicious and easy on the digestive system. Using beetroot powder to make this tahini sauce a beautiful shade of pink, and adding a liver-supporting boost (the liver is our detoxing organ!). I’ve also chosen broccoli as this family of vegetables is great for liver support too.

If you haven’t caught on, my reboot recipes focus on simplicity. This is exactly what I like to focus on when it comes to realigning with your health goals. Often I have clients that come to me wanting to add various different products to their diets, when really I prefer to take things away, focus on the foundations of simple clean food that the body loves, and add on from there. I find this to have undeniable benefits to digestion as well, and when we can sort out negative digestive symptoms first, it makes health changes so much easier from then on.

It’s also a great foundation to continuously come back to, especially when your schedules been thrown off or you’re just feeling a little all over the place (we’ve all been there!), I find that in these times, I just want to simplify.

  2. AIR FRYER: Coat the broccoli in olive oil, salt and pepper and cook in the air fryer at 180°C for 10 minutes.
  3. OVEN: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place broccoli on a tray and coat in olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned on the edges.
  4. To cook the tuna, heat a pan to a high heat and add olive oil. When the pan is hot, sear the tuna steaks on each side for 30 seconds to a minute (no longer!).
  5. Serve the tuna with crispy broccoli, pink tahini sauce, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime.
