⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh tuna steaks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Marinate the Tuna

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

Let the tuna marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cook the Tuna

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and grill or sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Tuna is often best served medium-rare, so avoid overcooking.

Serve

Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
