Tuna Steak Marinade
Description
This vibrant marinade transforms simple tuna steaks into a restaurant-quality meal. The blend of Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and crushed garlic creates a savory depth, while a touch of hot sauce adds a subtle kick that complements the rich fish. Brushed generously during cooking, it forms a beautiful glaze that keeps the meat moist and tender. Perfect for weeknight dinners, this recipe highlights the natural flavor of the tuna without overpowering it. Serve with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a balanced, satisfying meal.Ingredients

Note
Do not overcook the tuna, as it will become dry. Aim for a medium-rare center for best texture.
This recipe works well on a stovetop grill pan, outdoor grill, or under the broiler.
Ensure any marinade used for basting is boiled briefly before serving if it has touched raw fish, or reserve a portion of the marinade before adding it to the raw tuna for basting.
