Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2 fresh tuna steaks (about 200g each)
-
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
-
- Juice of 1 lemon
-
- 1 clove garlic, minced
-
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or oregano, chopped
-

- Lemon wedges for serving
Optional Add-Ins:
-

Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Tuna
-
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
-
- Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat the Pan or Grill
-
- Heat a grill or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
Step 3: Cook the Tuna
-
- Place the marinated tuna steaks on the hot pan or grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or 3-4 minutes for medium. Avoid overcooking to keep the tuna tender and moist.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
-
- Remove the tuna steaks from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
