Puree until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Toss this vinaigrette with the diced mangoes, half of the basil and the diced red onion. Preheat grill. Coat the tuna steaks with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna to desired doneness, about 1 ½ minutes per side for mid-rare.
