Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, sea salt, and red chili flakes (if using).
Step 3
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let the tuna marinate for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare center, or 4-5 minutes per side for a more well-done steak.
Step 6
Remove the tuna steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light side salad for a complete meal.
