Method

  1. 1

    Mix the diced tomatoes, shallot and basil with the juice of the lemon and 4 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Season well and set aside at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a griddle pan or frying pan over a high heat.

  3. 3

    Season the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for a pink centre, or longer if you prefer it cooked through.

  4. 4

    Rest for 2 minutes, then slice if you like.

  5. 5

    Spoon the tomato and herb dressing over the tuna to serve.
