- 2 oranges, peeled and sliced
- 60ml (4 tbsp) olive oil

Instructions
- Run the vegetable oil all over the tuna steak.
- Sear the fish for about 15 seconds on each side in a sizzling hot pan.

- Arrange the fennel and orange slices evenly between plates.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna steak into thin strips and place them on top of the salad.
