Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Fresh tuna steaks
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
• 1 small amount for grill Cooking oil spray
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tuna steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer if you prefer them more cooked. The exterior should have a nice sear while the inside remains slightly pink and tender.

Step 7

Carefully remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the grilled tuna steaks with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh zing. Pair with a green salad, grilled vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
