Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-ounce each) Ahi Tuna Steaks
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 cloves Fresh Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Ahi Tuna steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with the juice of half a lemon. Grate the zest of the lemon and add it to the mixture.

Step 3

Mince the 2 cloves of garlic, the tablespoon of fresh thyme, and the tablespoon of fresh rosemary, then add them to the olive oil and lemon mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Season the mixture with 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Place the Ahi Tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the tuna steaks are completely coated. Cover the dish and marinate the tuna in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the grill is ready, remove the Ahi Tuna from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the steaks on the grill.

Step 8

Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved. For a perfectly medium-rare steak, look for a slightly pink center.

Step 9

Remove the Ahi Tuna from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked steaks before serving.

Step 10

Serve the grilled Ahi Tuna immediately with a side of fresh greens or your choice of heart-healthy vegetables.
