Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
- 1 small amount for grill Cooking oil spray
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer if you prefer them more cooked. The exterior should have a nice sear while the inside remains slightly pink and tender.
Carefully remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh zing. Pair with a green salad, grilled vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
