Ingredients

• 2 fresh tuna steaks
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure both sides of the steaks are coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature, flipping them once halfway through.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drain off. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
5. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6. Serve the grilled tuna steaks hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top. Garnish with additional chopped herbs, if desired.
7. Enjoy your tasty tuna steak!
