Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Marinate tuna steaks for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to high heat and ensure the grates are clean.
- Remove tuna from marinade and pat dry, then season lightly with salt. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve with garnish if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the tuna; medium-rare is best to avoid dryness.
- A hot grill is essential for a good sear.
- Patting the tuna dry before grilling helps achieve the desired texture.
- Resting the tuna after grilling allows for better juice redistribution.
