Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon or to taste salt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Set the mixture aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your tuna well-done. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the balsamic mixture into the skillet. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes a glossy glaze.
Return the tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them, making sure they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Transfer the glazed tuna steaks to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Balsamic Glazed Tuna Steaks with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
