Ingredients
- 4 pieces (each about 6 ounces) Fresh tuna steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 500°F (260°C). Prepare grill grates by cleaning and oiling them to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Step 3
Place the fresh tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each steak is well-coated with the mixture. Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare doneness. The outside should be slightly charred, and the inside should remain pink.
Step 6
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or a mixed salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
