what better meal to eat after a 75 minute vinyasa session than yellow fin tuna steak with spinach and mushrooms in a garlic balsamic sauce? add a glass of viognier and you have an easy, elegant meal.

4oz fresh or frozen yellow fin tuna
1/4 tsp EVOO
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

brush EVOO on tuna steak and then sprinkle with garlic.

grill steak for two minutes, flip and grill two minutes more. (3-4 minutes per side for a less seared tuna)

spinach and mushrooms in garlic balsamic sauce

4-5 baby bella mushrooms
3 cups spinach
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp EVOO
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
