Description

This yellowfin tuna recipe features a lemony garlic marinade with mustard and soy sauce that's used to flavor and baste grilled yellowfin tuna steaks.

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) yellowfin tuna steaks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 wedges lemon, for garnish

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Prick tuna steaks all over with a fork and place in a shallow glass baking dish.
3 Whisk together oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, lemon peel, and garlic in a bowl; pour over tuna steaks. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.
4 Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove tuna from marinade; shake excess marinade from steaks and transfer to a plate.
5 Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer marinade for 10 minutes.
6 Cook tuna on the preheated grill, basting with boiled marinade, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.
