Tuna Steaks

Materials

Ingredients

  • 2-4 tuna steaks

Marinade Ingredients

  • cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper – or ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • juice of half a lemon – about 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients and whisk vigorously.
  • Place tuna steaks in a gallon ziploc bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat the tuna steaks, press out excess air and seal (if using ziploc bag).
  • Transfer to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Grill 6-8 minutes on each side until easily flaked with a fork and center of tuna steak is just barely pink. Internal temperature should read 90-95 degrees when done. Alternately, steaks can be seared in a skillet over medium-high heat, or broiled in the oven at 400 degrees.

Notes

Serving size: makes enough for 4 tuna steaks. If using more tuna steaks, double the marinade.
