Instructions
- Wash the tuna steaks and pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Season with salt and plenty of pepper then dust the steaks lightly with flour.

- Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and golden. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, bay leaf and mashed anchovies and stir well. Heat through gently, allowing the tomatoes to keep their shape.
