Tuna is probably the best fish on a barbecue. It is dense and meaty, holding together really well. A salty, garlicky tapenade is a perfect accompaniment. You can buy tapenade ready made, but you'll find the home made version is five minutes work and the flavours are so much more vibrant.

Directions

  • 1 Have tuna steaks at room temperature.
  • 2 In a food processor combine garlic, anchovies, basil and olives with enough olive oil to make a thick, smooth paste.
  • 3 Heat the flat or char grill on your BBQ to a really high heat, add a little oil to the tuna and sear for a minute on either side, leaving the centre very rare. Remove and stand.
  • 4 Place tuna on a plate beside steamed or boiled beans. Top the tuna with a spoonful of tapenade and drizzle with olive oil.
