Grilled Yellowfin Tuna with Marinade

Recipe View 5 mins Gather all the necessary ingredients. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Using a fork, gently prick the tuna steaks all over. Place the steaks in a shallow glass baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and crushed garlic until well combined. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent the tuna from sticking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting. Transfer the tuna to a clean plate. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. This will kill any bacteria and create a flavorful basting sauce. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 12 mins Place the tuna steaks on the preheated grill and cook, basting frequently with the boiled marinade, until cooked through to your desired level of doneness. This usually takes about 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or slightly longer for more well-done. (12 minutes)
