Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Ahi tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0 (as needed for grilling) Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure that the marinade coats each steak evenly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, turning the steaks once halfway through marinating.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are ashed over and evenly spread. If using a gas grill, let it preheat for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 6
Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is done to your liking. The internal temperature should register 115°F for rare or 140°F for medium. The tuna will continue to cook slightly after it's removed from the grill.
Step 7
Remove the tuna from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
