Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) tuna steaks
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) fresh rosemary leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 pieces (optional, for garnish) orange slices
- 4 sprigs (optional, for garnish) fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine fresh orange juice, orange zest, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tuna steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness (2 minutes for rare, 3 minutes for medium-rare). Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and set them aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour in the orange and rosemary marinade, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Return the tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them, cooking for an additional 1 minute to warm the fish and coat it in the glaze.
Step 6
Transfer the tuna steaks to serving plates and drizzle with the remaining orange-rosemary sauce from the skillet.
Step 7
Garnish with optional orange slices and rosemary sprigs for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
