Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh tuna steaks
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 1 zucchini
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the fresh tuna steaks into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Thread the marinated tuna cubes and chopped vegetables alternately onto the skewers, ensuring each skewer has a mix of colors and flavors.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the tuna is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center and the vegetables are tender with light char marks.
Transfer the tuna kabobs to a serving platter and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tuna Kabobs!
