Ingredients
- 6ounces whole red onion or 5 ounces chopped, ready-cut onion (1⅓ cups)
- 2teaspoons olive oil
- 1large clove garlic
- 4oil-cured olives
- 1teaspoon capers
- ½teaspoon anchovy paste
- ¼cup dry red wine
- 8ounces fresh tuna
Preparation
- Step 1
Chop the onion, if necessary. Heat a nonstick skillet, one large enough to hold all the ingredients, until it is very hot. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the oil. Saute the onion until it begins to soften and brown.
- Step 2
Put the garlic through a garlic press; pit and chop the olives, and add them and the garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the anchovy paste and wine, and cook a few minutes more over very low heat, just to blend the ingredients.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, cut the tuna into bite-size chunks.
- Step 4
Add the tuna to the sauce, cooking until the pieces are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Serve.

Cooking Notes
I didn't have anchovy paste, so I used a splash of fish sauce. And didn't have oil-cured olives, so I used kalamata olives. Quick and easy and delicious!
Nice option for fresh tuna steaks. I don't think of puttanesca sauce as having such limited ingredients, so I added some diced small tomatoes and some sliced yellow pepper and upped the olives (black). And, because of the name, I served it over pasta :D Didn't cut the tuna steaks into smaller pieces, but I might if there's a next time. They were a little tricky to handle whole on top of pasta.
I added 5 ounces diced tomatoes and sautéed a yellow bell pepper.
Would not cut up tuna, but sear tuna 3 min. each side, slice and serve sauce over tuna.
