Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ahi tuna steaks

- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced

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.

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.
