Amount Ingredient
3/4 lb baby or creamer red potatoes
1/2 lb fresh green beans
2 tbl Dijon mustard
3 tbl red wine vinegar
1 tbl wasabi or white horseradish
2 tbl fat-free, low-salt chicken broth
3/4 lb fresh tuna steak, about 1 inch thick

1 x ripe tomato, cut into 2 inch cubes
1/2 x French baguette

Instructions:
Instructions: Wash potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes. Wash and trim beans and cut into 2 inch pieces. (A quick way is to line up all of the ends on one side and cut them at one time; then line up the other end and do the same.)

Place potatoes in steamer over 2 to 3 inches water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Steam 5 minutes; add beans. Continue steaming another 5 minutes.

While vegetables steam, mix mustard and vinegar in a large bowl until smooth.

Add wasabi (or horseradish) and broth. Stir with fork to a smooth consistency.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Add potatoes and beans when they are cooked; toss well.

Wash tuna and pat dry with paper towels. Coat both sides with sesame seeds.

Preheat a medium-size non-stick skillet on medium high for 2 minutes. Add olive oil and sear tuna for 2 minutes per side. Salt and pepper the cooked side. Cover and remove from heat. Let sit 3 minutes for rare, 4 minutes for medium rare.

Divide greens in half and place on plates. Spoon potatoes and beans onto lettuce. Add tomatoes. Slice tuna into strips and arrange on top. Pour remaining dressing over top. Serve with baguette.
