1 package of mixed lettuce like mache, frisee, and baby greens
1 fennel bulb, stemmed and sliced
4 blood oranges, pith and peel cut away and cut into segments (juices reserved)

Using a grill, grill pan or broiler, heat to very high heat. Rub tuna with olive oil and sear on all sides. Remove from grill and cool.
