Tick the ingredients you need to add your shopping list.

Heat half a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the onions for 5-6 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Stir in the tomatoes, basil and capers. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a heavy pan over a medium heat. Season the tuna steak with salt and pepper. Add the tuna to the pan and cook for about 1½ minutes per side until it is light brown at the edges but still pink in the centre.
Pour in the tomato mixture and simmer for 3-4 minutes longer. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.

TOP TIP
It’s best to leave tuna steaks a little pink in the centre so that they stay juicy.
