Description
A simple and flavorful marinade perfect for enhancing the taste of tuna steaks, whether grilled, seared, or baked.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- Place tuna steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable bag.
- Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Remove tuna from marinade and cook as desired (grill, sear, bake). Discard used marinade.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can be added for extra flavor.
- Do not over-marinate, as the acidity can start to ‘cook’ the tuna.
