INGREDIENTS

4 x 200g sashimi-grade Tuna steaks (see notes)
Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
A little extra virgin olive oil
Crusty bread, to serve

METHOD

Make Salsa Verde: combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

Season fish well with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan until very hot, add a little oil and cook fish on 1 side for about 30 seconds, just until well-coloured, then turn and cook the other side for another 30 seconds, just long enough to colour. 

Remove fish from heat and leave to rest for a couple of minutes before drizzLing with Salsa Verde and serving with crusty bread.
