Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) fresh tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 medium, sliced zucchini
- 1 large, sliced red bell pepper
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and fresh lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure evenly coated and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the tuna is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini and red bell pepper.
On a separate part of the grill, place the zucchini and red bell pepper slices. Grill for about 5 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred.
Once the vegetables are grilling, place the marinated tuna steaks on the grill. Grill the tuna for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preference for doneness.
Remove the tuna steaks and grilled vegetables from the grill.
Garnish the grilled tuna steaks with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with the grilled vegetables on the side.
