Instructions
  1. In a wide saucepan, add the sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook over low heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and soft.
  2. Meanwhile, take 4 thick boneless, skinless tuna steaks and lightly coat them with a pinch of flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a separate skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over high heat. Quickly sear the tuna steaks for about 1 minute on each side until a golden-brown crust forms, making sure the inside remains pink and juicy.
  4. Once seared, transfer the tuna steaks onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Add the tuna to the pan with the warm caramelized onions and drizzle a splash of white wine over the top. Allow everything to simmer together for a few moments on low heat.
  5. Finally, serve the onion-braised tuna with your choice of sides, and relish the harmonious blend of flavors.
