How to Make Tuna Steaks With Garlic Lovers Fresh Tomato Sauce

  1. Combine 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 6 cloves minced garlic in a large bowl.
  2. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Just before grilling or pan-searing the tuna steaks, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano.
  4. Brush tuna steaks (about 4, 6 ounces each) with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on thickness.
  5. Top the cooked tuna steaks generously with the fresh tomato-lemon sauce.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later – the flavors deepen overnight! Enjoy cold or at room temperature.
