Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh tuna steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 slices of Stilton cheese

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Brush the mixture over both sides of the tuna steaks, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Air fryer method: Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Place the tuna steaks on the rack and cook for 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Top each steak with a slice of Stilton and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt.
  3. Griddle pan or non-stick pan method: Heat over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna steaks for about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low, add the Stilton slices on top, cover with a lid, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese softens and melts slightly.
  4. Note: tuna is best served slightly pink in the centre for tenderness, so avoid overcooking!
  5. Serve the tuna steaks immediately with your chosen side dish.
  6. Drizzle with extra balsamic glaze for a gourmet touch!
