Grilled Tuna Steak
This is a quick protein option for dinner. The beauty of tuna is that it’s a bit fatty, so it’s full of flavor on its own. Additionally, it actually tastes best when it’s barely cooked. That means when you’re in a rush to get a “hot” dinner on the table, tuna might be a good go-to. We buy a huge tuna steak, marinate it, grill it up and then eat it for a few days. It’s super tasty, but not flavorful enough that you can’t eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’ve eaten it on the side of eggs and avocado for breakfast, on a salad for lunch, and with grilled veggies for dinner. So quick and so easy!
What You’ll Need
One tuna steak (approx. 1lb)
Juice of one lemon
1 TBSP olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
What To Do
1. In a large baggie, combine the lemon juice, garlic, and thyme. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of your tuna. Very important: SEAL THE BAG, then mush all your marinade ingredients around. Put the tuna in the bag and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2. Remove the tuna from the bag. Heat your grill to medium-high, and lightly coat your grill with olive oil.
3. Grill your tuna for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (We like it rare, but it could have been cooked for a minute or two longer.)
Enjoy this melt-in-your-mouth feast!
