From My Kitchen – Marinated Tuna Steaks!

I’ve been wanting to start a recipe section on this blog for awhile now.  I just haven’t managed to find time to do it yet!  My husband requested this recipe for dinner tonight, so I figured I might as well start now!  Honestly, this is one of the quickest, and EASIEST recipes I have ever made,  and in my opinion, it’s restaurant-quality GOOD!

MARINATED TUNA STEAKS
Source: Allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) tuna steaks

Directions:

In a large non-reactive dish, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn to coat.  (I actually use a large Ziploc bag… much easier & less messy!)  Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat grill for high heat.  (You can cook these indoors or out.  Mine turn out great on my stove-top grill.)

Lightly oil grill grate. Cook the tuna steaks for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn and baste with the marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade.   (Note: I actually think 5 minutes on the flip side is a bit long.  I usually use larger tuna steaks and 5 minutes on that second side is plenty.  If you like your tuna more rare, be sure to watch it!)

ENJOY!
