Lemon Artichoke Tuna

Lemon Artichoke Tuna

This dish surprised me. I pulled the recipe because the term "lemon artichoke" sounds incredible. I wasn't so sure about the tuna steak, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised!

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red onion, sliced
3 6.5oz jars artichoke hearts, drained and halved
1 lemon, cut into 8 sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 lbs fresh ahi tuna steak, cut into 1" cubes
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Directions:
1. Cook the quinoa according to package directions.
2. Head 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan over med-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened -- 3 minutes.
3. Add artichoke hearts, lemon, garlic and thyme. Cook until heated through, about 3 more minutes. Move this to a place.
4. Season the tuna with the salt and pepper. Heat the other tbsp of oil in the skillet and toss the tuna. Brown all sides for about 3 minutes, until it flakes easily.
5. Return artichoke mixture to the pan and toss together.
6. Serve over quinoa!
