Seared Tuna With Maple Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and slice each half crosswise into 1-inch-thick half-moons.
• Melt butter in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat evenly. Add maple syrup; toss potatoes to coat, and bring to a boil.
• Transfer skillet to oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden, well glazed, and tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with thyme.

Steps:

• 2. Season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and cook for 30 seconds on each side.
• 3. Remove from the pan and brush both sides of the tuna with the maple-mustard glaze. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the pear-potato salad.

Steps:

Drizzle with reserved 4 teaspoons syrup mixture. Salad: Combine dressing ingredients. Pierce potatoes with fork and place in a microwave-safe dish; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave at high for 5 1/2 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. Quarter potatoes and add to dressing mixture; toss to coat. Heat packaged haricots according to package.

Steps:
