Tuna Steaks with Garlic Lovers' Fresh Tomato Sauce
"Summer on a plate - simple, fresh and absolutely delicious! I love uncooked tomato sauces in the summer, when the garden has an abundance of juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes. This one is for the garlic and lemon lovers, and it's terrific served cold the next day! (Prep time includes letting tomato sauce sit and blend flavors; cook time is approximate only for tuna steaks.)"

This is a very nice summer topping for fresh tuna steaks. I may have added a bit more garlic (love it), and also used basil out of the garden as the herb. Thanks for posting, Angie! -
This was absolutely fantastic! I used chives and thyme for the herbs, and it was very flavorful. I'm going to use the leftover sauce and make tuna salad tomorrow for lunch. Thanks! -
This was delicious! The sauce complemented the tuna very well! Make sure to use very ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Used basil for the herbs. So easy!
