Steps:
- Put the oil into a food bag and add the tuna steaks. Rub well together and leave for 30 mins while you make the relish. Peel the cucumber, halve lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Chop the flesh into a small dice. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste. Set aside.
- To griddle: heat the pan to hot, then cook the steaks, turning after 2 mins, and cooking for another 2 mins each side depending on the thickness of the steaks. Meaty fish is best served slightly 'pink'. Remove the steaks from the heat allow to stand for 3-5 mins, then spoon over the relish and serve.

MONTAUK BLUEFIN-TUNA TARTAR WITH FRESH HERBS
This recipe is totally inspired by the freshness of the ingredients. The tuna has to be of the best sashimi quality, preferably from a belly cut where there is more fat. As for the herbs, I harvest them from our farm just before I start the preparation, and then I mince them with a very sharp knife so as not to bruise them.''

Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna possible. Look for tuna that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Avoid tuna that is brown or gray, or that has a slimy texture.
- Cook the tuna properly. Tuna should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the tuna dry and tough.
- Use a variety of fresh ingredients. The olive, cucumber, and cilantro relish is a great way to add flavor and texture to the tuna. Other good options include diced tomatoes, red onion, or capers.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook tuna. Try grilling, pan-searing, or baking it. You can also use tuna in salads, sandwiches, or tacos.
Conclusion:
Bluefin tuna is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The olive, cucumber, and cilantro relish is a great way to add flavor and texture to the tuna. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
