Ormston] This was a fun and easy recipe. I'm so used to eating my tuna rare that cooking it was somewhat painful, especially at the price I paid ($17 a pound.) The end result was more favorable than I anticipated. It made, as described, a great light meal. I also served it with the suggested avocado half, and that really added to the presentation, as well as the recipe, in a positive way. I would include this as a menu item at most any luncheon.

These two flavors are powerful, and were a bit overwhelming toward the end of the meal. Yet the flavor in this dish was outstanding. All of the components blended together well, and I particularly liked the balance between the salty olives and the thick tuna steak. The meal was hearty without being dense. I served it with a couple slices of bread, and would definitely make this dish again. [Jill Nakaoki] I loved this dish, however I think the amount of onion and olives could be reduced a bit.
