Ingredients for servings

    Tuna Steaks

  • 2 large garlic cloves minced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 or 0.5 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 tuna steaks 6 ounces each, each 1

  • 1 or 0.5 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or basil

Directions

  • In a large, heavy nonstick skillet, cook the garlic in 1 tablespoon of the oil over very low heat, until the garlic’s aroma is apparent, 30 to 60 seconds, stirring. Immediately add the vinegar, 0.125 teaspoon of the salt, and half of the pepper. Remove to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

  • Season the fish with the remaining 0.125 teaspoon salt and the remaining pepper. Heat the remaining 1.5 teaspoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the fish and cook until browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the fish is just opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Serve topped with the garlic sauce and parsley or basil
