Wow. So quick and easy to make.

This is now officially one of my favourite food stuffs. The tuna steak has to be from the fish counter – previously tried cooking packaged tuna steaks, but they clearly need to be chunky!

Served with 75g green beans (18 cals) and 175g roasted tinned new potatoes sprinkled with paprika (125 cals).
