This is the best, easy tuna steak marinade! All you need is a few simple ingredients and 30 minutes to infuse your tuna steaks with deliciously bold flavor - zesty, with fresh herbs, garlic, a hint of sweet honey, and savory spices.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 tuna steaks
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper (or ¼ teaspoon ground pepper)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • juice of half a lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine all of the marinade ingredients and whisk vigorously.

  2. 2

    Place tuna steaks in a gallon ziploc bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat the tuna steaks, press out excess air and seal (if using ziploc bag).

  3. 3

    Transfer to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill 6-8 minutes on each side until easily flaked with a fork and center of tuna steak is just barely pink. Internal temperature should read 90-95 degrees when done. Alternately, steaks can be seared in a skillet over medium-high heat, or broiled in the oven at 400 degrees.
