Ingredients:

4 tuna steaks
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

Marinate the Tuna: Begin by placing the tuna steaks in a large zip-top plastic bag.
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice and olive oil until well combined.
Coat the Tuna: Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks in the plastic bag, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the Grill: Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grill rack to prevent sticking.
Grill the Tuna: Once the tuna has marinated, remove it from the bag and place it directly on the grill rack.

Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled to perfection, transfer the Caribbean Grilled Tuna to a serving platter and garnish with fresh lime wedges and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of Caribbean flavors!
