Yeast Free Sheet Pan Tuna Steaks with Tomatoes & Green Beans
This sheet pan dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that looks far more impressive than the effort it takes — bold, colorful, and packed with bright, fresh flavor. The tuna steaks get a warm spice rub of cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric that builds serious depth without relying on any fermented or yeast-derived ingredients, making it a genuinely satisfying option when you're navigating those restrictions. Cherry tomatoes blister and sweeten in the oven alongside tender green beans with just a little char at the tips, creating a built-in side that needs zero extra pots. Everything comes together on a single pan, which means cleanup is almost as easy as the cooking itself. The finishing touch is a zippy cilantro-lime dressing — just fresh lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs — that ties the whole dish together with a burst of acidity. It's the kind of sauce that makes you want to drag every last green bean through it. Serve it straight from the pan for a casual dinner that still feels like something special.
