Balsamic Glazed Albacore Tuna Steaks

Ingredients:

• 2 raw albacore tuna steaks - 4 oz. each
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup dry red wine
• 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup clear, salt-free vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp Italian parsley, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Season each side of the tuna steaks with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the tuna steaks and sear for 1 minute on each side. Drizzle 3 tbsp of the balsamic vinegar over the tuna steaks (1 tbsp per steak). Add the red wine, increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil then let the wine reduce down by about half.

Add the rosemary, garlic and vegetable broth to the pan. Turn off the stove and move the skillet to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until the tuna is cooked through - be careful not to overcook.

Remove from the oven and transfer the tuna steaks to a platter, reserving the liquid in the pan. Heat the pan on medium heat on your stovetop, adding the remaining 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce down by about half, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Serve the tuna steak drizzled with the balsamic reduction from the pan and a sprinkling of the Italian parsley.
