How to Make Balsamic Tuna
- Season tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer when ready.
- Add tuna steaks to the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
- Remove tuna steaks from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Add balsamic vinegar and orange juice to the skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and thickens into a syrupy glaze (about 3-4 minutes). To check for doneness, drag a spoon through the sauce; the path should not fill in quickly.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the tuna steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy!
