Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during grilling.
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness. Baste the steaks with the reserved marinade once during grilling for enhanced flavor.
Remove the tuna from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
