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
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Set the mixture aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the glazed tuna steaks to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Step 8
Enjoy your Balsamic Glazed Tuna Steaks with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
