How to Make Tuna With Tomato Caper Basil Sauce
- Heat 6 tablespoons of olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped), and 2 tablespoons capers, mixing well.
- Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Remove the sauce to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
- Add the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Season two 6-ounce tuna steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Once the oil is shimmering, add the tuna to the skillet.
- Cook the tuna for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through to your liking.
- Pour the tomato mixture over the tuna and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
