Ingredients
*Makes a salad for two
- 1/4 cup balsamic vingear
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1-2 Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 cups spring mix
- 1/4 cup diced pears
- 6-8 sliced cooked beets (canned, roasted or boiled)
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
- 1/4 cup candied pecans
Recipe
Start by bringing the balsamic vinegar and orange juice to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally. When the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes), remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving.
In a saute pan, heat oil. Sear the ahi for a couple of minutes on each side. Cook longer according to your preference.
On a plate, add spring mix. Top with pears, beets, goat cheese, and candied pecans. Drizzle with cooled balsamic glaze.
