Balsamic Tuna

6 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Sprinkle the tuna with the salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium high.
  3. 3
    Add the tuna and cook 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked almost to desired degree of doneness.
  4. 4
    The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
  5. 5
    Two minutes on each side will result in a pink, not red, center.
  6. 6
    After removing the tuna from the pan, add the vinegar and orange juice and cook, stirring, until the liquid begins to turn to a syrup.
  7. 7
    To test, drag a spoon through the liquid along the center of the pan; the path of the spoon will not fill in quickly as the liquid becomes syrupy.
  8. 8
    Drizzle the syrup over the tuna and serve immediately.
