--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      lb            Tuna steaks (1")
                        Vegetable oil
   5      tb            Butter
   2      cl            Garlic -- minced
     3/4  c             Onion -- chopped
     1/2  c             Fresh lemon juice
   2      tb            Capers -- minced

Brush tuna steaks with oil and broil or grill them until cooked
through, about 5 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile heat the butter in a frying pan and slowly saute the garlic
and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice
and capers and cook for 1 minute. Spoon the sauce over the tuna and
serve immediately.

Variation:

Tuna with Lime juice. Omit the capers. Substitute 1/4 to 1/3 cup
freshly squeezed lime juice for the lemon juice and add 1/4 ts
good-quality soy sauce and a dash of cayenne pepper.
