1
Prepare the Tuna
Start by patting the tuna steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a better sear.
2
Marinate the Tuna
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the tuna steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
4
Cook the Tuna
Remove the tuna steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your preference, transfer the tuna steak to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6
Plate the Tuna
Slice the tuna steak against the grain and arrange it on a serving plate. Drizzle with any remaining marinade.
7
Garnish
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color. Serve with lemon wedges and capers on the side, if desired.
