Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh tuna steaks
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 1 zucchini
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 8 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fresh tuna steaks into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into similar-sized 1-inch pieces for even cooking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the tuna cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Step 6

Thread the marinated tuna cubes and chopped vegetables alternately onto the skewers, ensuring each skewer has a mix of colors and flavors.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the tuna is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center and the vegetables are tender with light char marks.

Step 9

Transfer the tuna kabobs to a serving platter and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tuna Kabobs!
