    8 leaves red leaf lettuce
Preparation
    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!
