How to Make Tuna Steaks With Honey Mustard Marinade

In a large shallow bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F). Clean the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove tuna steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Carefully remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Avoid overcooking to maintain the tuna's delicate texture.
Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
