Ingredients
For the Tuna
- (2) 6-oz fresh ahi tuna steaks (sashimi grade)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- 12-oz green beans, washed and trimmed
Ginger Dipping Sauce

- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
To Serve

Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce and sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a heat-safe jar and whisk in the rice vinegar, lime juice, lemon juice, grated ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
- Brush tuna steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss green beans with the remaining olive oil.
