- Add 4 tablespoons oil and the onion to a large skillet.

- Add in the tomatoes and salt/pepper to taste; cook over medium heat, partly covered, until the juices thicken and a sauce forms, about 15 minutes.

- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a separate medium-size skillet, over medium heat.
- Add in tuna and toss until the tuna is cooked on the surface but still pink at the center.
- When the sauce has thickened, add the tuna, mint, and garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tuna is just cooked.
