Seared Tuna with Poblano-Chorizo Cream

This is another one of those off-the-top of my head recipes that I created. As with most of these type of dishes I thought about what I had at home while I was in the grocery store and thought of a flavor combination that would be stellar. Stellar it was...Please behold Seared Yellowfin Tuna Steak with Poblano-Chorizo Cream.
