1. Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add tuna strips and sear quickly 1–2 minutes per side; remove and keep warm.
2. Add remaining olive oil to the pan, then add carrot and bell pepper and stir-fry 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.
3. Return tuna to the pan with green onions, add soy sauce and black pepper, and stir just to heat through (add a splash of water or broth if needed to create a light sauce).
4. Serve the stir-fry immediately over warm basmati rice.
