Tuna Steaks With Balsamic Caper Sauce


Ingredients
  • 4 - 6 ounce fresh or frozen tuna steaks, about 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon pesto sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Cooking spray of your choice
  • 1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/4 cup diced shallots
  • 6 cups fresh stemmed and torn spinach, about 1 pound
  • 1/2 cup dry white cooking wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Directions
 
  1. Press tuna steaks between paper towels until barely moist. Combine the breadcrumbs, pesto, and water in a small bowl, tossing well.
  2. Pat bread crumb mixture on both sides of each tuna steak.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add tuna and cook 2 minutes on each side or until medium-rare or desired degree of doneness. Remove tuna from pan and keep warm.
  4. Stir in vinegar and capers, scraping pan to loosen browned bits and cook 1 minute.
  5. Place a large Dutch oven pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add shallots, and saute 3 minutes or until tender.
  6. Add spinach, and saute 1 minute. Add wine and pepper; partially cover and cook for 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts. Place tuna over spinach; drizzle with caper sauce.
