Pan-roasted tuna steak, with charred pak choi, tomatoes and crisp golden pommes frites, finished with a warm caper and rose-petal dressing.

This elegant yet simple supper takes just 18–20 minutes and pairs pan-cooked tuna steak with cherry tomatoes, capers and tender pak choi, finished with a delicate scattering of dried rose petals and parsley. Served with crisp pommes frites and a restrained spoonful of rock salt at the table, it is a colourful, lightly fragrant dish with just enough richness from the pan juices to bring everything together.

Notes

  • The timings are based on the Pommes Frites taking around 18-20 minutes minutes, If you are using larger chips or an air fryer, they will take more or less time, so adjust your pan timings so they are all ready at the same time. 
  • Check the tuna steaks packaging for cooking instructions and times adjust the recipe times accordingly.
  • You can use shop bought French Fries for the Pommes Frites, just prepare to the makers instructions. 
  • Instead of pak choi, you can use other suitable leafy vegetables such as little gem lettuce, spinach or cabbage. 
  • You can use dried parsley in stead of fresh.
  • Capers can be salty, so save adding extra salt until it's served, if needed.
