Method

  1. 1

    Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Cook eggs for 7 minutes, then transfer to cold water, peel and halve.

  2. 2

    Blanch green beans in the same boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and refresh under cold water.

  3. 3

    Whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar and 3 tbsp olive oil to make the dressing. Season well.

  4. 4

    Brush tuna steaks with remaining olive oil and season. Sear in a hot griddle pan for 90 seconds each side so they remain pink in the centre.

  5. 5

    Arrange green beans, halved cherry tomatoes and olives on a large platter. Nestle in the egg halves.

  6. 6

    Slice tuna and lay on top. Drizzle dressing over everything and serve straight away.
