Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (8 to 10-ounce) tuna steak

1/4 pound new potatoes, blanched and sliced into 1/8-inch thick

1/4 pound haricots verts, blanched

3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped

2 hard boiled eggs, sliced 1/8-inch thick

1/2 cup black olives, halved

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Salt and pepper

1 head Boston Bib lettuce

6 individual small loaves of French bread

Directions

  1. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Add the tuna fillet to the pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the tuna and flake the tuna into a mixing bowl. Add the potatoes, green bean, tomatoes, eggs, and black olives. Add the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and garlic to the bowl and toss well.
