Recipe
- 4 tuna steaks, about 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ cup chopped green onions, including tops
- 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds, ground
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Combine parsley, onion, fennel, salt, pepper, oil and lime juice in shallow dish. Reserve 2 tablespoons for basting. Place steaks in remaining marinade for 30 minutes, turning once.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill to high. Carefully oil grill grate. Place steaks on grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Baste steaks occasionally with remaining marinade. If a well-done center is desired, grill a few minutes longer per side.
