Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce Ahi tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steaks. Ensure that the tuna is well coated with the marinade.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse into the tuna.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the tuna from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The outside should be seared, and the inside should remain pink.
Remove the tuna from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Keto Grilled Ahi Tuna with a side of mixed greens or steamed vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
