Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice from the two lemons, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon and herb marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 3
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the tuna.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled tuna steaks immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes.
