How to Make Grilled Tuna Steak

  1. In a resealable zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients (see below).
  2. Add tuna steaks to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your desired doneness. (For a rarer tuna, reduce cooking time to 2 minutes per side.)
  7. In a small saucepan, pour the remaining marinade and simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until reduced by half. This creates a delicious sauce to drizzle over your tuna.
  8. Remove tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the tuna steaks and serve immediately.
