Chargrilled tuna with oregano oil & beautifully dressed peas & broad beans
The simplicity and flavour of this summer dish are fantastic. Buy your tuna steaks about 1cm thick rather than going for massive ones. That way they'll cook quickly, giving you a juicy, silky steak that hasn't had a chance to dry out. If you can't get hold of tuna, then shark and swordfish are reasonably good steak-like alternatives.
