Great tasting and different twist on tuna steaks. This recipe came from the Low Fat Living cookbook, but i've modified it slightly. I've also made this marinade/sauce for swordfish & halibut. The sauce takes a while to prepare, but it is definitely worth it. Try serving with a brown & wild rice mix and fresh asparagus. Ingredients:
6 tuna steaks (4 oz) |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 shallot, chopped |
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup vegetable broth |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
1/2 cup dried cherries |
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/2 teaspoon sugar substitute |
salt |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Marinade.
2. Place the tuna in an 8 x 8 baking dish.
3. Pour the wine and vinegar over the tuna.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Sauce:.
6. Warm the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
7. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute.
8. Stir in the broth, wine, cherries and sugar.
9. Drain the marinade from the fish and add to the sauce.
10. Bring the sauce to a boil.
11. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
12. Cook for 20 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by half.
13. Season with salt and pepper.
14. Meanwhile preheat the broiler.
15. Coat a broiler pan with non-stick spray.
16. Place the tuna on the pan and broil 4 from the heat for about 10 minutes per 1 thickness of fish, or until slightly pink in the center.
17. Turn the fish over halfway through cooking time.
18. Serve wit the sauce.
