Season defrosted cutlets with salt and pepper. Sauté cutlets quickly over medium high heat, one at a time, in butter. Remove to serving dish. Using a mortar and pestle, pound together garlic, anchovy fillets, salt and tuna to form a smooth paste. Add lemon juice and mix well. Slowly incorporate olive oil until fully blended and smooth.
