Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon zest. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, the coals should have a light coating of ash and be mostly white to indicate the right temperature.
Step 4
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place them on the hot grill.
Step 5
Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or 5-6 minutes per side if you prefer them well-done. Tuna should have a slight pink in the middle to prevent it from becoming too dry.
Step 6
Once grilled to your liking, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley or a lemon wedge if desired.
