## Steps

1. If using fresh beans, trim the ends, place in a pan of boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes. (1 min)
2. Drain through a sieve and rinse the beans with ice-cold water. Let them drain in the sieve. (3 min)
3. Arrange the salad greens, beans and red onion on plates or a large platter. (2 min)
4. Put the eggs in a pan of boiling water and cook for 8 minutes. (8 min)
5. Rinse the eggs in cold water and peel off the shells. (2 min)
6. Season the frozen tuna steak with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over high heat. (2 min)
7. Add the butter and olive oil and let them sizzle. Sear the frozen tuna steak quickly, 1-2 minutes on each side. (2 min)
8. The tuna should have a crisp crust on the outside and remain raw inside. Slice the tuna thinly and arrange it on the salad.
9. Halve the eggs and arrange them on the salad along with the olives and tomatoes. (1 min)
