👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned, then remove them and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the dry white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol mostly evaporates.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes, pitted black olives, and rinsed capers to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the tuna is cooked to your desired doneness.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
