Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by preparing the parsley garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil on both sides.
Season the tuna steaks generously with freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt, pressing the seasonings gently into the surface of the fish.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred. The fish should have slight grill marks and still be pink in the center.
Once cooked, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
Top each tuna steak with a dollop of parsley garlic butter, allowing it to melt slightly over the warm fish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
