Tuna With Tomato Caper Basil Sauce image

This is a a favorite at our house with all the flavors that we love. I would say don't even try this with frozen tuna (it just isn't the same), only fresh will do!

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tuna steaks, about 1-inch thick
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb roma tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
