Place the basil leaves, olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons hot water in a blender and puree.

Cover and marinate for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator - turning the steaks occasionally. Prepare coals for grilling for preheat the broiler. Drain the tuna steaks and grill them over medium-hot coals or broil 4-5 inches from he heat until charred on the outside but still pink in the center - about 3 minutes - turning the steaks once. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat and place the steaks on warmed dinner plates. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add to the skillet the banana, pineapple, mango, papaya, fresh cilantro leaves, lemon juice and sugar. Saute just until the mixture is heated through - about 30 seconds. Do not overcook. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the sauteed fruit mixture over the tuna and serve immediately.

This takes sashimi grade tuna which costs a bit extra. But it's worth the effort and expense. The dish is truly elegant.

Really exquisite. A great pan-asian dish that dresses up tuna steaks very well. I used fresh Ahi and it was phenomenal.
