Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
• 4 pieces, for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 3

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the tuna.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 450°F (230°C), and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off back into the dish. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 6

Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. For medium-rare, target a slightly pink center.

Step 7

During grilling, use a brush to occasionally baste the steaks with the reserved marinade, enhancing the flavor.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for that extra citrus kick.
