Start with a 2-inch thick tuna steak.

Season the tuna with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Choose a pot that hugs the tuna and add oregano on the bottom.

Add chopped red onion (cut into eighths) to the pot.

Cover the tuna with olive oil, almost completely submerging it.

Heat the pot over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, monitoring for bubbles.

Gently flip the tuna using a fish spatula after 10-15 minutes of cooking.

Remove the pot from heat and let the tuna finish cooking in the residual heat for about 10 minutes.

Transfer some of the oil to a container to cool for making aioli later.

Add a can of rinsed white beans to the remaining oil in the pot.

Season the white beans with salt and let them hang out on medium-low heat.
