Preparation steps

For Vinaigrette Dressing:

Combine all ingredients in a mason jar. Screw the cap on and shake the vinaigrette vigorously to emulsify. Set the dressing aside, to allow the flavors to incorporate.

For Tuna and Salad:

Preheat a dry, seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Rub tuna on all sides with olive oil and about 1 teaspoon of the prepared vinaigrette. Once pan is hot, sear tuna for about 45 to 60 seconds, flip the tuna over and, sear the second side for 30 to 45 seconds seconds. Transfer tuna to a heatproof cutting board and allow to rest for a several minutes.

While the tuna is resting, assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, mixed greens, tomatoes, olives, anchovies, and chives. Shake the vinaigrette and drizzle over the salad and toss gently to coat; season with salt and pepper.

Arrange the salad nicely on individual salad plates. Slice the tuna against the grain into individual portions and divide between the salads. Season to taste, salt and fresh pepper and garnish with hard boiled eggs. Serve immediately with remaining dressing.
