- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and a dash of salt and pepper. This marinade is going to take your tuna from fabulous to *fabulously delicious*!
- Dunk your tuna steaks into the marinade and let them soak up all that flavor for about 15-20 minutes. Patience is a virtue, especially in the culinary world!
- While your tuna is getting its marinade fix, heat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. It needs to be hot and ready, like your favorite dance club!
- Once that sizzling surface is ready, toss those marinated tuna steaks onto the grill. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side. You want a gorgeous sear on the outside but still a bit pink inside. Think of it as the tuna getting its tan while keeping its chill!
- Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing it into tasty strips.
