Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove the onion from the skillet.
- Place the tuna steaks in the same skillet over medium-high heat and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna steaks to a serving tray; keep warm.
- Stir the vinegar and sugar together in the same skillet until sugar is dissolved. Return the onions to the pan, and simmer until the liquid reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the tuna to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Place the tuna on the warm serving tray and top with the onion and sweet and sour mixture.

SICILIAN TUNA STEAKS IN ONION SAUCE
I found this recipe somewhere on the 'net, and it is reported to be a classic dish of the islands off the western coast of Sicily. The onions have a decidedly sweet/sour taste which we love, and that would be super as well on a swordfish steak.

Steps:
- SAUCE:.
- Saute the onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add salt and cook, stirring until they are limp.
- Stir in vinegar and sugar, and cook over a slightly lower heat until the vinegar has evaporated.
- I caution you, the escaping steam will take your breath away so stay well away from the skillet when possible, but do perservere!
- When vinegar has evaporated, add cayenne or tabasco, mix well and remove from heat.
- The sauce should still retain the texture of the onions and yet retain enough moisture to be spoonable.
- Cover and keep warm.
- TUNA:.
- Over medium heat, add olive oil and bay leaves to a skillet large enough to hold tuna steaks in one layer.
- When the oil is warm, not hot, add tuna and salt and pepper to taste.
- Saute 2-3 minutes per side, but this will depend on thickness of steaks and your doneness preference-- we like ours on the rare side.
- Raise heat, add wine, and cover pan a second or two, just until the wine has stopped steaming.
- Uncover skillet, cook 30 seconds longer, then transfer tuna to plates.
- Spoon the onions and sauce over the top of each, and serve.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON
This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.
