Tuna with white beans and touch of orange

We are trying a new one here with the little tuna steaks we have and they sure have been good but I think I will have to go with salmon being my favorite. We really need to try this again with a better orange than we had and we did not have any fresh basil but its growing now outside.

4 tuna steaks 4-6 oz about 1 inch thick (ours was a little smaller)

2 Tablespoons grated orange zest

1/2 cup orange juice

2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 Tablespoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 Tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons finely minced fresh Basil leaves

1 Tablespoon sea salt

2 teaspoons ground pepper

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar

2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (to drizzle after cooked)

4 cups cooked white beans

1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

In a small bowl combine orange zest,brown sugar,garlic,mustard,cumin,basil,salt,pepper. Reserve 1 Tablespoon to season white beans. Rub on tuna coating well

In a saute pan or cast iron skillet warm the olive oil. When hot add tuna in pan to sear for 1 minute, then turn over and reduce heat from high to med. Sear this side for 1 ore minute until med rare.

In large saucepan whisk the orange juice,vinegar and reserved spices. Bring to simmer and add white beans and 1/4 cup of basil leaves, tossing till hot.

Place beans on plate and drizzle with olive oil and place tuna steak over beans.
