Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Tuna steaks
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
When the skillet is hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your tuna well done. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the balsamic mixture into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to a glaze-like consistency.
Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon the balsamic glaze over the top. Cook for 1 more minute to heat through.
Transfer the tuna steaks to serving plates and drizzle any remaining glaze over them.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
