Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
Add tomatoes and olives, and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture is well blended and tomato juice has reduced slightly.
Remove from heat, and stir in thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Sprinkle tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Grill on greased grill racks 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Transfer tuna steaks to individual plates, and top evenly with tomato-olive mixture.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna can be paired with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Raymond R Collection Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

Raymond R Collection Merlot
The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
