Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

2

Marinate the Tuna

Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3

Prepare the Smoker

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). If using wood chips, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the smoker.

4

Smoke the Tuna

Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and place them on the smoker rack. Smoke the tuna for about 1 hour, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

5

Serve

Once the tuna is smoked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides or enjoy it on its own.
