1 slab of tuna, preferably from the belly portion, about 1 3/4 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into very thin slices

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant red color.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices helps to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during grilling.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steaks and cook them quickly and evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the tuna steaks: The tuna steaks are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest before serving: Allowing the tuna steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving helps to redistribute the juices and prevents them from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Garlic Herbed Grilled Tuna Steaks is a flavorful and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna steaks are marinated in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender and juicy steak with a slightly crispy exterior. Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a fresh salad.
