Brush the tuna steaks with oil and some seasoning, then leave for 5 minutes to come to room temperature.

Heat a heavy frying pan or griddle until hot, then sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side depending on the thickness, then rest for 2 minutes. Serve on top of the tomato salad with the parsley sprinkled over, and crusty bread, if you like.
