This is fantastic! I am not very expierenced at cooking seafood so I really appreciated the easy preperation. Salt and pepper those steaks really well. I did not use enough and had to add after I was done cooking. The sauce for this is really good too. The balsalmic vinegar with orange juice sounds strange, but tastes GOOD!

    this is really good. i was worried that the OJ would make it too sweet for my taste, but it cooked right off. perfect punch of vinegary bite and peppery heartiness. i only had two tuna steaks, but i still made the amount of sauce called for in the recipe (i like lots), so you may want to double the sauce for four steaks. sprinkle with some fresh lemon. nice.

    This was very good. I added oregano and basil to the spices and used more balsamic vinegar because I like the taste. It takes longer to reduce the sauce than it does to cook the tuna, so you might want to think about preparing the sauce in a different pan so that the tuna is still hot when it's done. Fabulous flavor.

    The basalmic sauce was excellent, but I found that I had to add about 50% more to adequately serve with all the fish. Also, the recipe does not indicate how thick the tuna steak should be according to her recipe and cooking times. Overall it is a simple, and therefore simple-tasting dish, made better than average due to the glaze.

    Dancer^, this was a marvelous way to cook tuna steaks. It was easy too, which always excites me. Amber Anaya made a good point in that you need to salt and pepper the steaks very well before cooking. The sauce was very lively in flavor and a great compliment to the tuna. Thanks a bunch.

    This was SO good and easy. I'm a pepper lover so I went a bit heavier on it than the recipe says. This is a real keeper, thanks.

    I didn't know what to do with some tuna steaks, but now I know what I will always do! This was great! I ate more than I should have, because I didn't want to quit having the flavor in my mouth! I doubled the amount of sauce, and even let it run into my veggies, which tasted good too.

    I give this 5 stars because it was very tasty and super simple. I took the advice of the last reviewer not to skimp on the salt and pepper. The sauce was easy and delicious. Other than the tuna, I always have these ingredients and can make this in no time. Thanks!

    Fantastic simple recipe, I doubled the amounts as recommended by another reviewer and I would probably double it again as it was such a flavoursome sauce we couldn't get enough. Thank you Dancer!
