Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate the marinated tuna for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the fish.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Adjust the cooking time for your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
