Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Ahi tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the ahi tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 500°F (260°C).

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Lightly oil the grill grates.

Place the tuna steaks on the hot grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. The steaks should have a nice sear on the outside and still be tender on the inside.
