In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will serve as the marinade for the tuna steaks.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the relish.
To make the tomato feta relish, combine the cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, red onion, parsley, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and red wine vinegar in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the grill is well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness (for medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 125°F).
Transfer the grilled tuna to a serving platter and let it rest for a few minutes.
Spoon the tomato feta relish over the tuna steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy!
