For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a subtle kick. When grilling, avoid overcooking the tuna, as it can become dry and tough. Aim for a medium-rare to medium doneness for the best texture and flavor. Serve the grilled tuna steaks with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or a lemon-herb risotto for a complete and satisfying meal.

Step
4 hrs
Place the tuna steaks into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. (5 minutes)

Grill the tuna steaks for 8 to 10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness. The tuna should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork when done. (20 minutes)

Mar 11, 2025My steak came out a little dry, next time I will be sure not to overcook it, the marinade itself was great though!
