Tuna steak cooked in oil
Salt and pepper the tuna steak about 20 minutes before cooking. Place it in a vacuum with lots of extra virgin olive oil and cook for about 20 minutes at 43 °C. Cool in water and ice.

Mayonnaise ice-cream
Mix all the dry ingredients weighed out and dissolve them in the water, adding the egg yolk and pasteurising everything at 83 °C. Cool and mature for 12 hours in the fridge. Set the natural vinegar, the vinegar reduction, the lemon juice and the oil to one side, adding them only when stirring the ice-cream.

Tomato cream
Peel the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Blend the flesh obtained, season to suit preference. Continue to blend, adding plenty of oil. Heat one part and dissolve the gelatine in the right proportion, according to the total weight of the cream. Pour the cold part into the hot part and place in the fridge to set.

Lettuce salad
Choosing only the tenderest part of the lettuce, cut it into very fine julienne strips, to dress when putting the snack together.

Oil pastry sheets
Mix together all the ingredients apart from the lard, to obtain a smooth and nicely compact dough. Leave to rest for a few hours. Roll out into 1 mm thick sheets. Stack them, brushing the softened lard between each one. Roll them with a rolling pin so that the sheets stick together properly. Cook in the oven with a weight until the pastry turns light brown.

Presentation
Cover the pastry with a cm of mayonnaise ice-cream, spread with the lettuce julienne and top with the slices of tuna in oil. Splash lightly with the tomato cream.
