Grilled Yellowfin Tuna Steaks

I didn't realize until I had this recipe that I actually enjoy tuna! These are yellowfin tuna steaks which are hearty pieces of fish that are quite delicious.  This recipe calls for a simple marinade that the tuna steaks should soak in for anywhere from 1 to 2 hours (depending on how much time you have to prep dinner).  Enjoy!

Servings: 4

Serving Size: 1 4oz. tuna steak

Points Plus: 6pp

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 1-3 hours (marinade time)

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

4 yellowfin tuna steaks (4 oz. each)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tsp. grated lemon zest

1 clove garlic, crushed

Lemon wedges for garnish

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, lemon zest and garlic.  Whisk together until well combined.  Add the yellowfin tuna steaks and let them sit in the marinade for 1 to 2 hours.  You will want to poke the steaks first before adding to marinade - this will allow for the flavors to really integrate into the steaks before cooking.  Start the grill and raise the temperature to high heat.  Reduce the remaining marinade in a pan for about 10 minutes.  Use this reduced mixture to baste the steaks while grilling.  Grill the tuna steaks about 4 minutes per side, only flipping once.  Serve with the lemon wedges.
