How to make Garlic Herb Tuna Steak Marinade
Combine all of the marinade ingredients and whisk vigorously.
Place the tuna steaks in a gallon Ziploc bag, pour in the marinade, toss to coat the tuna steaks, press out the excess air, and seal. Alternatively, you can put the tuna steaks in a bowl, add the marinade, toss, cover, and let marinate in the bowl.
Transfer the tuna steak marinade to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
Take the tuna steak out of the fridge and put it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the tuna is easily flaked with a fork and the center of the tuna steak is just barely pink. The internal temperature of the tuna steak should read 90-95 degrees when done.
Tips & Tricks
Use fresh-squeezed lemon juice for a more tart and lemony flavor.
If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika can be used as a substitute.
