Cook the Onions
Heat a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the pan and sprinkle in the sugar to help caramelize them. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions soften and turn a golden brown. This may take around 20 minutes. -
Sear the Tuna
In a separate pan, heat a bit more olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the tuna steaks in the pan and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Once seared, remove the tuna steaks from the pan and set them aside. -
Combine the Ingredients
After the onions are caramelized, take a larger pan and heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the caramelized onions to the pan. Stir them gently, then pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, allowing the alcohol to cook off. This should take a few minutes. -
Add Tomato Sauce and Simmer
Once the alcohol has evaporated, add the tomato passata (sauce) into the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything well. -
Finish the Sauce
Pour in the water and bring everything to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for another 5 minutes. -
Serve
Place the seared tuna steaks on a serving dish, then spoon the caramelized onion and tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, either hot or at room temperature for a delicious meal.
This Seared Tuna with Caramelized Onions recipe combines the tender richness of tuna with the sweet depth of caramelized onions, creating a harmonious dish that pairs perfectly with a side of rice or roasted vegetables. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special occasion!
