A stunning and flavoursome dish, that is very easy to do. The only trick is not to overcook the tuna. For a more substantial meal, serve with rice.

50g butter, softened2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 teaspoon Cointreau
4 tuna steaks, cut into cubes
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
small cos lettuce leaves, to serve
julienne of orange rind, for garnish
spring onions, for garnish
Method
- Combine butter, orange rind, ginger and Cointreau. Heat a frypan to very hot. Add flavoured butter and swirl to coat the pan.

- Arrange lettuce leaves on serving plates, top with tuna cubes and garnish with orange rind and spring onions.
