Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce opt for low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil avocado oil works as a great substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice lime or orange juice can be used
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger fresh is preferred
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) fresh garlic enhances overall taste
  • 1 tablespoon Honey maple syrup or brown sugar are good alternatives

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

  • Resealable Plastic Bag

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grabbing a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce and olive oil, then whisk them together vigorously for about 30 seconds until fully combined.
  2. Incorporate the lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and black pepper into the bowl. Whisk thoroughly for about another minute.
  3. Take your tuna steaks and place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tuna.
  4. Place the marinating tuna in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  5. While the tuna is marinating, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels after removing from the marinade.
  6. Once your grill or skillet is hot, place the tuna steaks on it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
