Categories     Tuna

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ahi tuna you can find. Look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm texture.
  • Sear the tuna quickly over high heat to get a nice crust. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Make sure the balsamic ginger slaw is well-chilled before serving. This will help to keep the slaw crisp and refreshing.
  • Serve the ahi tuna with the balsamic ginger slaw immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when the fish is hot and the slaw is cold.

Conclusion:

Ahi tuna with balsamic ginger slaw is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tuna is seared quickly over high heat to get a nice crust, and the slaw is made with fresh, crisp vegetables and a tangy balsamic ginger dressing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
