Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 whole Zest of lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness — aim for grill marks and a pink center for medium-rare.
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with a fresh lemon wedge and garnish with extra herbs if desired.
