Spicy found this recipe on a rare trip to Belize. He thought the tuna steaks were more memorable than the women… yet somehow similar…
Ingredients
8 slices bacon, preferably peppered
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus more for drizzling, divided
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 cup loosely packed sundried tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Four 3/4-inch-thick tuna steaks (6-8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
4 large slices whole grain or peasant bread, halved
8 red leaf lettuce leaves
Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
On a slotted broiler pan, bake the bacon until crisp, 15-20 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon EVOO, one turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup water, the sundried tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until thick, 7-8 minutes.
Season the tuna with the grill seasoning. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO, one turn of the pan, over medium heat. Add the tuna steaks and cook for about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Toast the bread and drizzle with EVOO. Top four slices with lettuce, one tuna steak, two bacon strips and a pile of tomato jam. Cover with the remaining toasts.

Check out this great new video about the birth of Spicy Sun:
“This is one Grand-daddy of Spicy beef recipes that you have to try! I came across this dish while traveling the jungle waterways of Cambodia looking for my lost love, Cocoa. My guide there in Khmer Krom says that it is such a delicacy, the folks saved it for weddings and big celebrations. I almost died on that trip, so you better try it and tell me what you think!” - Spicy 2008
