Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the Ahi tuna steaks into a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the steaks directly on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Ahi tuna is best served medium-rare, with a pink center.
Step 6
Once done, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled Ahi tuna steaks with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete dairy-free meal.
