Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the tuna.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, 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 grill.
Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preferred doneness.
Remove from the grill and let the tuna rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
