Ingredients

2 Tuna steaks each 6 ounces or 170 grams
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp Dried oregano
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Ground black pepper
¼ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat your grill to high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the steaks marinate for 5 minutes.
Once the grill is hot, oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated tuna steaks on the grill.
Grill the tuna steaks for about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer more well-done fish.
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Tuna steak is best enjoyed medium-rare to preserve its moisture and flavor. If overcooked, it can become dry and tough.

Always ensure your grill is hot before cooking to get a good sear on the steaks.

Feel free to adjust the level of heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes.
