Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons white wine
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ripe fresh tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 pound haricots verts or green beans, stem ends trimmed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
6 6-ounce, 1-inch-thick, fresh tuna steaks
1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine wine, vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until slightly thickened and syrupy, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Combine tomatoes, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss, and set aside
  • Heat grill to medium hot. Combine haricots verts, lemon juice, remaining teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; toss well. Arrange beans on the grill and cook, turning, until just limp and lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Sprinkle remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on all sides of tuna steaks. Brush wine-and-vinegar mixture on tops and sides of steaks and place, glazed side down, on grill. Grill, brushing with more glaze, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side for rare, 6 to 7 for well done. Transfer to serving platter with beans. Add basil to tomatoes, toss, and spoon over tuna. Serve immediately.

This grilled tuna with balsamic glaze was an absolute delight! The fish was cooked to perfection, moist and flaky on the inside, with a beautiful sear on the outside. The glaze added a wonderful sweet and tangy flavor that complemented the tuna perfe
