Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Tuna steaks
• 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 2

Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

When the skillet is hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your tuna well done. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and pour the balsamic mixture into the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to a glaze-like consistency.

Step 6

Return the seared tuna steaks to the skillet and spoon the balsamic glaze over the top. Cook for 1 more minute to heat through.

Step 7

Transfer the tuna steaks to serving plates and drizzle any remaining glaze over them.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
