Ingredients:


4 fillets tuna steaks - -- (abt 6 oz ea)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup olive oil

1 medium red onion -- thinly sliced

1/4 cup chicken stock -- fresh or canned

1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh parsley -- chopped

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste
 

Preparation / Directions:


Roll the tuna steaks in flour and pat off the excess. Heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Pan-fry the fish over medium heat, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, and remove to a warm plate. Do not overcook. Discard half the oil and return the pan to the heat. Add the onion, chicken stock, vinegar, and black pepper to taste. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion just becomes tender and the sauce reduces a bit. Add the parsley and salt to taste. Spoon the sauce over the warm fish and serve. Comments: This dish is easy to prepare and simply delicious. But the tuna must be fresh. Need I tell you not to overcook tuna? The center should be soft and moist, not dry and firm.
