Method
- To make the green sauce, place the parsley, scallions, garlic, anchovy fillets, basil, capers, and oregano in a food processor and pulse to chop and blend together.
- With the motor still running, pour in oil. Add the lemon juice to taste, then process again.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra oil. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let chill in the refrigerator until needed.
- Place a cast-iron griddle pan over high heat until you can feel the heat rising from the surface.
- Brush the tuna steaks with oil and place, oiled side down, on the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes.
- Lightly brush the top side of the tuna steaks with a little more oil. Use a pair of tongs to turn over the tuna steaks, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes for rare or 4 minutes for well done.
- Transfer the tuna steaks to serving plates and serve with the green sauce spooned over, accompanied by lemon wedges.
