Ingredients:
– 4 tuna steaks (4-6oz each)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic and oregano.

Hack: For extra flavor, finish the dish off with a pat of butter or a squeeze of lemon juice.
