Best Tuna Steaks Marinade Recipe
This is the best, easy tuna steak marinade! All you need is a few simple ingredients and 30 minutes to infuse your tuna steaks with deliciously bold flavor - zesty, with fresh herbs, garlic, a hint of sweet honey, and savory spices.
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 2-4 tuna steaks
Marinade Ingredients
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper, or ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- juice of half a lemon, about 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients and whisk vigorously.
- Place tuna steaks in a gallon ziploc bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat the tuna steaks, press out excess air and seal (if using ziploc bag).
- Transfer to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
- Grill 6-8 minutes on each side until easily flaked with a fork and center of tuna steak is just barely pink. Internal temperature should read 90-95 degrees when done. Alternately, steaks can be seared in a skillet over medium-high heat, or broiled in the oven at 400 degrees.
Notes
Serving size: makes enough for 4 tuna steaks. If using more tuna steaks, double the marinade.
