Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are completely covered. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, but not more than 1 hour for optimal flavor.
Preheat a grill to high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat at medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until they are seared on the outside but still rare in the center.
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the grilled tuna steaks.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added citrusy freshness.
Enjoy your low carb grilled Ahi tuna with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
