Tuna Mignon With Tomato Sherry Vinaigrette

• 2 (6 ounce) tuna fillets
• 1/8 cup poppy seed
• 1/8 cup ground pepper
• 1/4 cup shallot, diced
• 1/3 cup green onion, ends cut off and remaining portion diced
• 2 cups roma tomatoes, cored,seeded and diced
• 1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil

1. Place shallots, green onion and tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
2. Add sherry and rice vinegars.
3. Add salt and olive oil; stir well.
4. Set aside.
5. (I made this mixture ahead of time and let set for 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to mix, but this is not necessary).
6. Roll tuna fillet in poppyseed-peppercorn mixture.
7. In a well-heated pan, sear tuna on both sides to desired temperature (approx. 1-2 minutes per side, so that the tuna is very pink on the inside).
8. Place tuna on a plate and top with tomato mixture.
9. Enjoy!
