Rinse and trim fennel bulbs and cut into thin slices. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet and sauté fennel for about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Season fennel with salt and pepper.
Rinse tuna steaks, pat dry and brush with oil. Fry tuna steaks on a hot grill or in a pan on each side for 1-2 minutes, depending on thickness. Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper.

Arrange fennel slices and tuna steaks on plates, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with remaining pistachios to serve.
