Start to Finish:15 min
makes:4 servings
2large garlic cloves, minced
1tablespoon olive oil
1tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4teaspoon salt
1/8teaspoon ground black pepper
4tuna steaks (6 ounces each), each 1” thick
1 1/2teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
1.In a large, heavy nonstick skillet, cook the garlic in 1 teaspoon of the oil over very low heat, until the garlic’s aroma is apparent, 30 to 60 seconds, stirring. Immediately add the vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, and half of the pepper. Remove to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
2.Season the fish with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and the remaining pepper. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons 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.
3.Serve topped with the garlic sauce and parsley or basil.

Great flavor but dry
I loved the flavor of the tuna (sauce is awesome). However, I like my tuna more on the medium to medium well side and it seems to dry out terribly. Any suggestions from anyone on how to prevent this?

yum!
Just made this tonight for myself and absolutely loved it! my piece of tuna was a little over an inch thick so i did about 5 minutes per side and it came out perfectly seared on the outside and pink and rare in the middle. I will probably be using this sauce on other items in the future as well. A winner with this one for sure!

OK
This was an ok dish, a little dry, but if you're on a Tuna diet to lose weight it's a nice change of pace.

This was the first time I ever made tuna steaks at home... and I LOVED them! I was incredibly impressed by the outcome! The only thing I would do is change the amount of cook time to about 2-3 minutes on each side... I felt they were a little too done for my own tastes... but the flavor was AMAZING!
