Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Lime Juice
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • tsp minced garlic
  • ¼ cup Fresh Cilantro
  • ½ tsp Jalapeno Salt
  • 2 Ahi Tuna Steaks
  • 2 tsp Balsamic Glaze

Notes

Mix first 5 ingredients together in a mixing bowl.  
Place Tuna Steaks in a zip lock bag and pour mixture over the Tuna.  Seal
Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours prior to cook time.  
Just prior to cooking, sprinkle Jalapeno Salt over the Tuna Steaks.  
Heat searing burner.  Place Tuna Steaks on Burner for approx. 1 1/2 minutes per side.
Removed from heat and serve immediately.  Drizzle the Balsamic Glaze over the Ahi Tuna Steaks once they are on the plate.  
Tuna Steaks will be crispy on the outside and rare on the inside.  
Note:  If you don't have a searing, another option is to sear the Tuna Steaks in a Cast Iron Skillet.  Heat Skillet until very hot and sear Tuna approx. 1 1/2 minutes on each side.  Due to limited space, cooking time may be extended by another 3-4 minutes.
