Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tuna steaks, approximately 6 ounces (170g) each
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place tuna steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring each steak is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F / 190°C to 230°C).
  4. Remove tuna from marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
  5. Remove from the grill and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley.
