Ingredients
  

  • Tuna steaks: 2 pieces about 6oz each [170g]
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Lemons: 2 juiced, and zest kept
  • Fresh parsley: 3 tablespoons chopped
  • Garlic cloves: 2 minced
  • Red chili flakes: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5ml
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black pepper: to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your grill on high.
  2. As the grill warms up, take your tuna steaks and drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Now, for the Lemon Relish: in a bowl, combine lemon juice, zest, the remaining olive oil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Stir well.
  4. Grill your tuna steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until your desired doneness is achieved. The outside should be slightly charred with a pink center.
  5. Once off the grill, let the tuna rest for a minute or two.
  6. Serve the tuna steaks hot and spoon the Lemon Relish over them generously.

Notes

Always choose fresh, pink tuna steaks for the best flavor.
Avoid overcooking. Tuna is best enjoyed slightly pink in the center.
The Lemon Relish can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Doing this enhances its flavors.
Be careful with the chili flakes; they can be quite spicy. Adjust to your taste.
  • Lay out your Grilled Tuna with Lemon Relish on a bed of mixed greens or arugula for a refreshing touch.
  • Partner this dish with a light quinoa or couscous salad for a fuller meal.
  • A side of steamed vegetables like asparagus or green beans would perfectly complement the flavors.
