Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the tuna.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place them in the skillet or on the grill.
Cook the tuna steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them well done.
Remove the tuna steaks from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the tuna steaks garnished with lemon wedges and optionally sprinkled with additional fresh rosemary for a fresh herbaceous touch.
