Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Citrus Tuna Steaks.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and whisk together some fresh orange juice, a splash of olive oil, dried oregano, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 2
Mix these ingredients until they’re beautifully combined, creating a vibrant marinade that will infuse your tuna steaks with flavor.
Step 3
Next, gently add the tuna steaks to the bowl, making sure they’re fully coated in that zesty marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes; this is the perfect time for the flavors to mingle and develop, making each bite a burst of deliciousness.
Step 5
While the tuna is soaking up those tasty flavors, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the grill is ready, take the tuna steaks out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Step 7
Now, place those steaks on the hot grill and let them sizzle! For a perfect medium-rare, grill them for about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or if you prefer them medium-well, aim for around 10 minutes per inch.
Step 8
Don’t forget to flip the steaks halfway through cooking to ensure they’re evenly grilled.
Step 9
As you watch them cook, you’ll be treated to the mouthwatering aroma of grilled tuna, making your taste buds tingle in anticipation.
Step 10
Enjoy your perfectly grilled tuna steaks, bursting with flavor and ready to impress!.
