Tuna Steaks with Mustard Dressing and Mashed Taro

In a large saucepan, cover the taro with water and bring to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt and simmer over moderate heat until very tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Add the cream, milk and butter and mash. Season generously with salt and pepper; keep warm.

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup of oil and 2 tablespoons of mustard with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro and season the dressing with salt and pepper.
