Ingredients

  • 2 10-ounce sushi-grade tuna steaks, 1-inch thick
  • Kosher salt and fresh pepper
  • 2 cups extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 15 black peppercorns
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 cloves
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 4 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Place in a heatproof container, just large enough to fit steaks in a single layer. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat remaining ingredients until garlic cloves begin to turn golden brown. Pour mixture over tuna; it should cover the fish.
  2. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours. To serve, thinly slice tuna and lay over dressed salad greens.
