2. Sauté the Onion:
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of margarine. Once the margarine has melted and is sizzling, add the sliced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes fragrant and slightly translucent.

3. Cook the Tuna:
   Add the tuna steaks to the skillet, breaking them apart gently with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the tuna is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Sprinkle with ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.

4. Prepare the Vegetables:
   While the tuna is cooking, wash the carrot and green beans. Slice the carrot into thin rounds and trim the ends of the green beans. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the carrot slices and green beans until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

5. Soak the Greens:
   In a bowl, soak the lettuce leaves and bean sprouts in salted water for about 2 minutes. This will add a bit of flavor and crispness to your dish. After soaking, drain and set aside.

6. Plating:
   On a serving plate, arrange the sautéed tuna alongside the blanched vegetables. Add the fresh lettuce and bean sprouts for a colorful presentation. Drizzle your favorite sauce and a dollop of mayonnaise over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
