Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Ahi tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 500°F (260°C).
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Lightly oil the grill grates.
Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. The steaks should have a nice sear on the outside and still be tender on the inside.
Remove the grilled tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled ahi tuna steaks immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Whole30 meal.
