Tuna Steaks with Balsamic Vinegar


fresh tuna, ideally from the Adriatic sea

balsamic vinegar to taste

extra virgin olive oil

breadcrumbs

salt


The tuna should be cut into steaks about a finger and a half thick. Salt the tuna lightly, coat with a thin layer of olive oil, and lightly cover with bread crumbs. Heat a grill to moderate heat and lay the slices of fish on it. Cook until the bread crumbs are golden, turning once in a while. During the cooking process, sprinkle a few drops of balsamic vinegar repeatedly on the slices. Be careful not to overcook or the tuna will become dry. You may add additional balsamic vinegar to taste when the fish is served.

Wine recommendation: Verdicchio of Matelica or, preferably, Tristo of Montesecco
