Tuna Marinated in Lime Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb of fresh tuna
1/2 cup of lime juice
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 tablespoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

Cut the tuna into small cubes or bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish or bowl
In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined
Pour the marinade over the tuna and toss until the tuna is fully coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld
Once the tuna has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes
Heat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking
Once the grill or pan is hot, add the tuna and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly seared and cooked to your desired doneness. Be careful not to overcook the tuna as it will become tough and dry
Remove the tuna from the heat and transfer to a serving dish
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately
