Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium nectarines
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are evenly coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the tuna marinates, prepare the nectarine relish. Dice the nectarines and finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
In a medium bowl, combine the diced nectarines, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add lime juice and honey, then toss the mixture gently to combine. Cover and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steaks on the preheated grill.
Cook the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks topped with a generous spoonful of the nectarine relish. Enjoy!
