- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Please note all seafood should be cooked to a minimal internal temperature of 145°F
-
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
-
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the steaks are coated evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Preheat your grill to high heat.
-
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
-
Season both sides of the tuna steaks with a little salt.
-
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preference. Avoid overcooking the tuna, as it can become dry.
-
Once cooked, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
-
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
This grilled tuna steak recipe pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
