Total Time: 16 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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

Recipe

• 1 sprinkle the tuna with the salt and pepper.
• 2 heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium high.
• 3 add the tuna and cook 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked almost to desired degree of doneness.
• 4 the tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
• 5 two minutes on each side will result in a pink, not red, center.
• 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 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 drizzle the syrup over the tuna and serve immediately.
