Step one of this Ahi Tuna & Southwest Grilled Romaine is to prepare your pico de gallo. Chop up your veggies, drizzle in the salt and pepper, mix and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving on the dish. Once you have the pico de gallo setting in the fridge, move onto the lemon honey vinaigrette. Mix all ingredients into an airtight container so you can store the remaining vinaigrette and keep it fresh.
Now that your pico de gallo and lemon honey vinaigrette are ready. Pat dry the tuna steaks and add salt and pepper on both sides. Slice the romaine in half lengthwise but make sure to keep the root attached so the lettuce leaves do not fall apart. Heat your grill or grill pan up and oil the grates so you don’t get any stickiness. Add your tuna steaks to the grill and flip after 2-3 minutes, cook for another 2-3 minutes and remove from the grill to let rest. Brush the romaine lettuce with a little olive oil and add to the grill. After 2 minutes, flip, and grill for another 2 minutes before removing from the grill.
Slice the tuna on an angle and lay on top of the grilled romaine lettuce. Mix the pico de gallo before spooning onto of the tuna and lettuce. Right before serving, drizzle the lemon honey vinaigrette and enjoy!
