Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Tuna steak
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon (freshly cracked) Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes on each side for a more well-done steak. Avoid overcooking as tuna can dry out quickly.

Step 6

Once cooked to your desired level, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with a fresh salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
