Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tuna steaks
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Whisk the ingredients together to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and have a light layer of gray ash before cooking.
Step 4
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 5
Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Avoid overcooking to prevent the tuna from becoming dry.
Step 6
Remove the grilled tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, a light salad, or quinoa for a complete low-fat meal.
