Blackened Balsamic Tuna Steaks ### Ingredients

2 Ahi tuna steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Start by preparing the blackening spice. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over both sides of the steaks, then generously coat them with the spice mixture.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness. The center should remain pink and tender.
While the tuna is cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Once the tuna steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the steaks before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Enjoy these Blackened Balsamic Tuna Steaks for a meal that is not only quick to prepare but also bursting with flavor. Pair them with a fresh salad or steamed veggies, and you’ll have a well-rounded dinner that everyone will love!
