Equipment
  • mixing bowl
  • Aluminum foil
  • Baking pan
Ingredients
  
  • Aluminum foil (two sections for every tuna piece)
  • 4 Tuna steaks 6 oz. each
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup Vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 medium Chopped onions
  • 1 tbsp Garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F (200 degrees C) to prepare it for baking.
    In the meantime, sauté the chopped onions and garlic paste in olive oil for 3-5 minutes. Add soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
    At this step, you can create the flavor you love by mixing and matching your favorite ingredients. For example, you can add mushrooms and parsley to give it an Italian touch. Or give your tongue a rich, spicy taste with sprinkles of chili peppers.
  • Lay out a layer of the best-quality foil in a baking pan. Its size should be double that of the steak piece.
    Then, brush the tuna steak with the prepared seasoning. The syrup should cover both sides of the steak properly.
    Place the second layer of foil over the prepared tuna. Fold the corners of both foil layers to entirely secure your steak inside. Note that the foil should cover the meat properly.
  • Place the baking pan with the tuna foil packets in the oven.
    Let the oven run for 15 to 20 minutes. Then, using a fork, check the tenderness from the center.
    Some people like their tuna more when it's pink. To make it medium rare, remove it from the pan early.
