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.

Steps:
- 1. Combine vinegar, brown sugar, onion, thyme and oil. Stir until sugar dissolves. Place tuna steaks in resealable plastic bag. Pour half of mixture over tuna. Seal bag and chill 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Refrigerate remaining vinegar-mixture. 2. Preheat grill. Remove tuna from marinade; discard marinade. Grill fish 5 minutes per half-inch thickness, turning once, or until fish flakes with a fork. Brush fish with reserved vinegar mixture just before removing from grill.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use a combination of red wine vinegar and honey. The honey will add a touch of sweetness to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
- Be careful not to overcook the tuna. It should be cooked just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
- Serve the balsamic tuna immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Balsamic tuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy and flavorful glaze to the tuna, while the herbs and spices give it a complex flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
