Ingredients:
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
Directions:
Sprinkle the tuna with the salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium high.
Add the tuna and cook 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked almost to desired degree of doneness.
The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it is removed from the pan.
Two minutes on each side will result in a pink, not red, center.
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.
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.
Drizzle the syrup over the tuna and serve immediately.
