Instructions
1
Prep
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, trim green beans, and halve cherry tomatoes.

Lower the egg into boiling water, cook 6-7 minutes over medium heat until the white is set and yolk stays jammy, then transfer to cold water.

In the same saucepan, blanch the trimmed green beans 3 minutes over high heat until bright green and tender, then drain and rinse under cold water.
4
Whisk
In a small bowl, whisk the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil with salt and pepper until emulsified.
5
Sear
Pat the tuna fillet dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear in remaining olive oil over high heat for 1-2 minutes per side until browned outside with a pink center.
6
Build
Arrange the butter lettuce on a plate, scatter the green beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, thinly sliced shallot, and capers over the top.
