Description

Experience the exquisite taste of the sea with our Grilled Ahi Tuna recipe. Perfectly grilled Ahi Tuna, known for its rich texture and flavor, becomes the star of the plate.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 4 6-ounce Ahi Tuna Steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
   
2. Place the Ahi Tuna steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
   
3. Preheat the grill to high heat. Once hot, brush the grill surface with oil to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.
   The internal temperature for medium-rare should be about 125°F (52°C).
5. Let the grilled tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the tuna moist and flavorful.
