Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.
Arrange the bacon on a broiler pan and bake until crisp, about 15 - 20 minutes. (I just cooked mine in the microwave).
Heat 1 T. oil in a small saucepan to medium high. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sun dried tomatoes, Worcestershire, vinegar, brown sugar and 1/2 cup water.
Stir well. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 7-8 minutes or until mixture thickens.
Season the tuna with grill seasoning, zest and rosemary.
Place a skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 T. olive oil.
Sear the tuna steaks for about 2 minutes per side for rare fish or about 4 minutes per side for cooked through fish.
While fish cooks, toast the rolls.
Drizzle the rolls with a little olive oil.
Place 2 lettuce leaves on each roll.
Top with seared tuna, 2 strips of bacon, and a big spoon ful of tomato jam. Place tops on rolls.
Enjoy!
