1
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel and place them on a clean cutting board.
2
Season the Tuna
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the tuna steaks. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your wood grill to high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Tuna
Place the seasoned tuna steaks on the hot grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side for rare doneness. The exterior should be charred while the interior remains pink.

5
Plate the Tuna
Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute before slicing.
6
Serve with Condiments
Serve the grilled tuna with lemon wedges, soy sauce, wasabi paste, pickled ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil on the side.
