Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to create a marinade.
Place the Ahi tuna steaks into a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the steaks directly on the grill.
Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Ahi tuna is best served medium-rare, with a pink center.
Once done, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled Ahi tuna steaks with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete dairy-free meal.
