Grilled Tuna

Ingredients

• 2-4 tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger, (grated)
• 2 tablespoons basil, (minced)
• 1 green onion, (finely diced)
• salt and pepper, (to taste)
• sesame seeds, (optional toppings)
• lemon wedges, (optional toppings)

Instructions

1. 1

   Season tuna steak with salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, basil, green onion, and herb of choice. Add black pepper and salt to taste.

3. 3

   Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, coating them well.

4. 4

   Tightly cover or seal with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour for optimal flavor.

5. 5

   Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F/190-205℃).

6. 6

   Remove any particles from the tuna and let the excess marinade drip off.

7. 7

   Directly place on the hot grill grates and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. If you like your tuna rare to medium, grill to the desired doneness.

8. 8

   Once the tuna steaks are grilled to your desired doneness, carefully remove them from the grill.

9. 9

   Sprinkle sesame seeds over them for extra crunch and a nutty flavor.

10. 10

    Serve the grilled tuna steaks with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
