Ingredients

• 4 pieces (5-6 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 cups (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup (pitted and sliced) Kalamata olives
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade (discarding any excess) and sear them in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer the tuna to a plate and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and red onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

Step 7

Return the tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon some of the tomato-olive mixture over the top. Cook for 1 additional minute to warm everything through.

Step 8

Transfer the tuna to serving plates, top with the tomato-olive mixture, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve the Greek Tuna immediately, optionally with crusty bread or a side salad.
