Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are completely covered. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, but not more than 1 hour for optimal flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill to high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat at medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 5

Grill the tuna steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until they are seared on the outside but still rare in the center.

Step 6

Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the grilled tuna steaks.

Step 8

Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added citrusy freshness.

Step 9

Enjoy your low carb grilled Ahi tuna with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
