The Ginger Snap: Bacon Wrapped Tuna

We still have lots and lots of fish from my dad, and one of my favorites is Tuna. This really is such a easy meal there are only 3 steps. On a rainy summer night it was the perfect light steak, open the window and cook with music and rain in the background - heaven.

On the menu:

Bacon Wrapped Tuna with Balsamic Glaze

Small Side Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing (from my mom)

For the fish: make the steaks about 1 inch thick, season heavily with salt and pepper and wrap with bacon securing with a toothpick.

It's really better grilled over coals because you get the kind of smokiness, but it was raining to we moved the grill inside! Try really hard to not overcook, a rare tuna steak is just so much better

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/3 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

3 tablespoons veal glaze (which they didn't have at our grocery store so we used a balsamic glaze)

It's really easy just combine all the ingredients into a sauce pan and reduce by half. (It will keep for about a week too). Right before serving, bring the sauce to a simmer and whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small pieces and cook until melted.
