Greek Tuna Steaks

The combination of Mediterranean flavors works equally well not only with the tuna steaks in this recipe, but also with striped bass or red snapper fillets. Serve with couscous mixed with feta cheese, sliced black olives, and chopped tomato.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2  teaspoons  chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1  teaspoon  olive oil
• 3/4  teaspoon  chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
• 4  (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

Preparation

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, and rub evenly over the tuna steaks. Cover tuna steaks, and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes.

Heat a large grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the tuna steaks, and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until steaks reach desired degree of doneness. Serve tuna steaks with lemon wedges.
