Directions
For poached tuna, place tuna steaks in a single layer in an oven-safe skillet. Add enough olive oil to cover tuna. Cover with lid and place in the oven; bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until small protein bubbles form on the top of the tuna steaks.
Remove skillet from oven; let tuna stand in poaching oil to cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, for vinaigrette, whisk together mustard, egg yolks* and vinegar until combined. Slowly add canola oil in a thin, steady steam, whisking continuously until slightly thickened. Whisk in olive oil, garlic, shallot, parsley and tarragon until combined. If necessary, whisk in 1 to 2 Tbsp. room temperature water if vinaigrette is too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Consuming unpasteurized, uncooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
For salad, place lettuce in the center on a large serving platter. Arrange potatoes, green beans, hard boiled eggs and tomato wedges around the bed of lettuce. Slice poached tuna and arrange on top of lettuce. Top with Kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes. Serve with vinaigrette.
