Trim any dark oily portions of the tuna and throw away. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and brush both sides liberally with some of the vinaigrette (reserve the remaining). Set the tuna aside on a plate in the refrigerator while preparing the spinach.
- Spinach:Heat the extra virgin olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Saute/fry spinach, adding salt and pepper to taste till cooked down. Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 or possibly so min. Cover and keep hot while cooking tuna.
- Seared Tuna:Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet or possibly nonstick saute/fry pan over high heat. Sear the tuna for 2 to 3 min on each side, or possibly till browned on the outside but still rare; turn only once.
- Place the creamed spinach in the center of hot serving plates. Slice each of the tuna steaks into four equal pcs and arrange on top of the spinach with the rare sides facing up. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette all around the spinach, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve immediately.
