Amazing and elegant recipe for fresh tuna steaks! The fennel seed rub is superb on tuna and the vinaigrette really complements the fish. There are a lot of steps, but it really is easy and done in no time at all. So worth the effort! I added some orange zest to the vinaigrette, too. And used somewhat less olive oil.
