Marinated Tuna Steak

Marinated Tuna Steaks

Marinade:

1/4 C orange juice

1/4 C soy sauce

2 T olive oil

1 T lemon juice

2 T chopped fresh parsley (I used 1 tsp dried here because that is what I had)

1 clove garlic, mince (I used 1 tsp garlic paste)

1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano (again, I used dried)

1/2 tsp black pepper—I just did a few grinds

Mix together the marinade, place the tuna in the marinade and turn to coat, then place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Grilled Tuna Steaks

The recipe says 4 4oz steaks, I just used 2 larger tuna steaks.

Preheat grill to high heat and lightly oil grate.

On the stove top, preheat cast iron pan on high heat and add a small amount of olive oil just to coat the bottom of the pan.  When the oil shimmers, add the steaks.

Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper and place on the grill or in the pan.  If the pan, turn the heat down now to slightly above medium.

Depending on how you like your tuna, and the thickness of the tuna steak, cook 5-6 minutes or 3-4 minutes on the first side, turn and baste and then cook an additional 5 or 3 minutes to desired doneness. With tuna steak you can just watch the side of the steak to see how done it is getting.
