Tuscan-Style Grilled Tuna Steaks
Tuscan-style grilled tuna steaks are a delicious and flavorful dish made by marinating tuna steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, then grilling them to perfection.
The marinade adds a delicious and slightly tangy flavor to the tuna, and the grilling process helps to seal in the juices and create a crispy crust on the outside.

Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 tuna steaks, about 6 ounces each
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, baste the tuna steaks with fresh lemon juice.
- Ensure the tuna steaks are seared on the outside and remain slightly pink in the center for optimal taste and texture.
- Allow the grilled tuna steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving.
