Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Ahi tuna steaks
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the Ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off.

Step 5

Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until they are seared on the outside and slightly pink in the center. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled Ahi tuna steaks to a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving to retain juices.

Step 7

Serve the grilled Ahi tuna hot, accompanied by fresh vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete Paleo meal.
