Ingredients

  • 4 tuna steaks, about 1-inch thick
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb roma tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Heat 3 TBS oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat; add the onions and saute about 5 minutes until soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes, then add in the tomatoes, basil and capers, stirring well to combine.
  • Simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes; mixture will thicken.
  • Remove sauce to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wipe out the sauce pan, then heat with remaining 3 TBS of oil over medium heat.
  • Salt and pepper fish to taste, then place in the pan when oil is hot.
  • Cook fish about 3 minutes per side (fish should be light brown at edges but still pink inside).
  • Pour the tomato mixture over the fish and simmer for about 5 minutes, then serve immediately!
