Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until they are seared on the outside and slightly pink in the center. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.
Transfer the grilled Ahi tuna steaks to a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving to retain juices.
Serve the grilled Ahi tuna hot, accompanied by fresh vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete Paleo meal.
