Ingredients
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
4 tuna steaks
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- In a container with a lid, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Add the tuna steaks and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes, turning the tuna occasionally to let the flavours infuse.
- When ready to cook, remove the tuna from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Lightly oil the grill rack, then grill the tuna steaks over medium-high heat for around 3–4 minutes on each side. You’re aiming for a lightly charred outside with a tender, slightly pink centre, perfect for medium-rare.
- Alternatively, you can broil the tuna about 4 inches from the heat for the same amount of time.
- Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for that perfect fresh-from-the-grill flavour.
