Method:

1. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the garlic and onion and fry over a low heat until soft and lightly browned.

2. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the anchovies, parsley and flour. Mix together well.

3. Stir in the wine, bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then simmer gently for 5-7 minutes.

4. Season to taste with pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. There should be no need to add salt because the anchovies are salty.

5. Place the tuna steaks in an oven-to-table dish and pour over the sauce. Cover with a lid or foil and cook in a preheated oven, 190°C (375°F), Gas Mark 5, for 40-45 minutes. Serve hot.
