Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) fresh tuna steaks
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 as needed non-stick grilling spray
- 1 whole lemons, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and dried oregano to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each steak is well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly spray the grates with non-stick grilling spray.
Step 4
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are slightly charred on the outside and opaque in the center, reaching the desired level of doneness.
Step 6
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with lemon wedges before serving for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
