Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In the same water, boil eggs for 7 minutes until yolks are barely set. Transfer to ice water to cool.
Step 3
Pat tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Finely chop the anchovy fillets. Juice the lemon into a small bowl and whisk with anchovy, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Peel cooled eggs and cut into quarters. Cut cooled potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
Step 6
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds. Sear tuna 90 seconds per side without moving. Center should stay rare. Transfer to a cutting board.
Step 7
Slice tuna against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
Step 8
Arrange lettuce on a large plate or shallow bowl. Top with potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, and olives in clusters.
Step 9
Arrange tuna slices on top. Drizzle with lemon-anchovy dressing. Serve immediately.
