| 1. SAUCE: | 2. Saute the onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. | 3. Add salt and cook, stirring until they are limp. | 4. Stir in vinegar and sugar, and cook over a slightly lower heat until the vinegar has evaporated. | 5. I caution you, the escaping steam will take your breath away so stay well away from the skillet when possible, but do perservere! | 6. When vinegar has evaporated, add cayenne or tabasco, mix well and remove from heat. | 7. The sauce should still retain the texture of the onions and yet retain enough moisture to be spoonable. | 8. Cover and keep warm. | 9. TUNA: | 10. Over medium heat, add olive oil and bay leaves to a skillet large enough to hold tuna steaks in one layer. | 11. When the oil is warm, not hot, add tuna and salt and pepper to taste. | 12. 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. | 13. Raise heat, add wine, and cover pan a second or two, just until the wine has stopped steaming. | 14. Uncover skillet, cook 30 seconds longer, then transfer tuna to plates. | 15. Spoon the onions and sauce over the top of each, and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
