Servings: 2

Ingredients

Tuna steaks
2 (6 oz each)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to create beautiful grill marks.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This marinade will infuse the tuna with flavor.
  3. Brush the tuna steaks generously with the marinade, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. For extra flavor, let the steaks marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. A perfectly grilled tuna steak should be seared on the outside while remaining slightly pink in the center.
  5. Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
  6. Serve the grilled tuna steaks garnished with chopped fresh parsley and alongside your favorite side dishes or a crisp salad.
