Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (1.0-pound) fresh, or frozen and thawed, tuna steak
- Olive spray oil
- 1 1/2 pound small new potatoes, boiled or steamed until tender and cooled
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and boiled or steamed until tender and cooled
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pitted Niçoise olives
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled and cut into wedges
Method
In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, tarragon, mustard, shallot, salt and pepper.
Slowly whisk in oil to make a vinaigrette.
Put tuna into a wide, shallow dish, and drizzle all over with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Reserve remaining vinaigrette.
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.
Arrange tuna on the grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until tuna reaches desired doneness. Transfer to a plate.
When cool enough to handle, flake into large pieces.
Arrange tuna, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, olives, onion and egg on a large platter and serve with reserved vinaigrette on the side to spoon over the top.
