Seared Tuna with Mustard and Onions

From the Kitchen of: Shelley Sparks

4	Tbsp.	Dijon-style Mustard
2		Tuna Steaks (6 oz. each)
		Salt to taste
		Pepper, freshly ground
2	Tbsp.	Balsamic vinegar to taste
2		Onions, thinly sliced

• Combine the mustard, salt and pepper.
• Rub the mixture on both sides of the Tuna Steaks.
• Cook the tuna over high heat in a nonstick pan to seal in the juices. (A one inch thick tuna steak will take 3-5 minutes on each side)
• Remove the tuna. Set aside.
• Add the onions to the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar.
• Place the tuna on dinner plates. Spoon the onion-vinegar mixture over the tops.
