preparation
1. For the salad, bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Drop in the beans and cook for 3 minutes or until al dente. Drain, refresh briefly under running cold water, and drain once more.
2. Return the beans to their pan and add the extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, thyme leaves, and some salt and pepper to taste. Gently turn over until heated through, then keep warm.
3. Heat a ridged cast-iron grill pan until it is really hot. Brush the tuna generously on both sides with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Put on the pan and cook for just 2 minutes on each side.
4. To serve, spoon the beans into the center of four warmed plates and put the tuna on top. Drizzle a little virgin olive oiI around the outside of the plate and sprinkle with some coarsely crushed black pepper.
