Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce Ahi tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
Step 2
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steaks. Ensure that the tuna is well coated with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse into the tuna.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the tuna from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 6
Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on your preferred level of doneness. The outside should be seared, and the inside should remain pink.
Step 7
Remove the tuna from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Step 9
Enjoy your Keto Grilled Ahi Tuna with a side of mixed greens or steamed vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
