Number Of Ingredients 6

3 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped
6 sprigs thyme, leaves stripped
3 scallions
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Coarsely chop the rosemary, thyme and scallions. Transfer to a small bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Season the tuna all over with salt and pepper and put in a shallow dish. Coat with the herb mixture on both sides; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.

Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
