Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the tuna steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Herbs

    While the tuna is marinating, finely chop the fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or cilantro) and set aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the cooking surface is well oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Tuna

    Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and place them on the grill or pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them well-done. The internal temperature should reach 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Once cooked, transfer the tuna steaks to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon slices and a sprinkle of the chopped fresh herbs. Serve over a bed of microgreens or mixed greens.
