Step 2: Make the olive relish

Mix together the olive oil, chopped olives, diced celery, red wine vinegar, garlic, red chilli, grated lemon zest and the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Once mixed, leave the relish to marinate for 1 hour.

Brush both sides of the tuna steaks with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Turn the steaks over and season the other side.

Step 4: Cook the steaks

Place the grill pan on a high heat. When the pan is hot, carefully add the tuna steaks. Cook for 30 seconds and then turn the steak ninety degrees and cook for a further 30 seconds, leaving an attractive pattern on the tuna. Now turn the steak over and cook for a final 30 seconds. Take the tuna out of the pan and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
