  Step 1: You will need

  See top right.

  Step 2: Make the sauce

  Into a bowl add the 60ml of olive oil, minced garlic, capers, tomato, fresh parsley and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

  Step 3: Treat the tuna

  Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a bowl, add the rosemary and the thyme and mix together. Season the tuna heavily with salt and pepper. Spoon the oil mixture onto each piece of tuna and rub it in. You'll get the most effective result by just using your hands.

  Step 4: Preheat the oil

  Put the vegetable oil into the frying pan and heat it until extremely hot, almost to the point of smoking.

  Step 5: Sear the tuna

  Place the tuna logs into the hot oil and sear for about 20 seconds on each side. Tuna is preferable served on the rare side because if overcooked it dries up and the flavour can become too strong.

  Step 6: Cut the tuna and serve

  Once the tuna is cooked cut each piece in half. Place on a serving plate, spoon over the sauce and serve immediately.
