     1/4  c             Fresh lemon juice
   2      tb            Capers -- drained
   2      tb            Fresh oregano -- minced -OR-
   2      ts            Dried oregano
     1/4  ts            Salt
   6                    Tuna steaks (8 oz ea)
                        - (3/4" thick)
     1/8  ts            Freshly ground pepper

In medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup olive oil with parsley, red
peppers, scallions, 2 tb lemon juice, capers, oregano, and salt.
Simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend
flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place tuna in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Drizzle
remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 tb lemon juice over fish. Season
with pepper. Turn to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and
marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.

Prepare a hot fire. Place fish on an oiled grill set 4 to 6" from
coals. Reheat sauce by placing saucepan on side of grill. Grill tuna,
turning once, until opaque throughout but still moist, about 8 to
10 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon sauce over each
steak.
