Tuna Mignon With Tomato Sherry Vinaigrette - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) tuna fillets
1/8 cup poppy seed
1/8 cup ground pepper
1/4 cup shallot, diced
1/3 cup green onion, ends cut off and remaining portion diced
2 cups roma tomatoes, cored,seeded and diced
1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup olive oil

Preparation

Place shallots, green onion and tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
Add sherry and rice vinegars.
Add salt and olive oil; stir well.
Set aside.
(I made this mixture ahead of time and let set for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to mix, but this is not necessary).
Roll tuna fillet in poppyseed-peppercorn mixture.
In a well-heated pan, sear tuna on both sides to desired temperature (approx. 1-2 minutes per side, so that the tuna is very pink on the inside).
Place tuna on a plate and top with tomato mixture.
Enjoy!
