Instructions
- 1 Bring water to a boil and cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
- 2 Meanwhile, preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Brush the tuna steaks on both sides with a little olive oil, and season with pepper and salt.
- 3 Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. If you like medium-rare, then 3 minutes on each side is perfect.
- 4 Trim the bottom of the green asparagus and cook them for about 5 minutes in boiling water. Then drain them.
- 5 Serve the tuna steaks on a bed of quinoa, with the green asparagus on the side. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the tuna and asparagus for an extra fresh flavor. Enjoy your meal!
