Instructions:
-
Prepare Tuna: Start by sprinkling the tuna steaks evenly with salt and pepper, ensuring each piece is well seasoned.
-
Heat Oil: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, ready to sizzle your tuna to perfection.
-
Sear Tuna: Carefully add the seasoned tuna to the skillet and let it cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on it; you’re aiming for a tender, slightly pink center. Remember, the tuna will continue to cook a bit even after it’s removed from the heat.
-
Create the Glaze: Once the tuna is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a plate. Now, it’s time to elevate the flavors with a delectable balsamic glaze. In the same skillet, pour in the balsamic vinegar and orange juice. Stir gently, allowing the liquids to mingle and reduce to a syrupy consistency.
-
Check Consistency: To ensure your glaze is just right, run a spoon through the liquid along the center of the pan. If the path left by the spoon doesn’t fill in quickly, you’ve reached the perfect syrupy texture.
-
Serve: Drizzle the luscious balsamic-orange glaze over the cooked tuna steaks, letting the flavors meld together in a mouthwatering harmony. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its finest.
