Ingredients

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
the juice of 2 lemons
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 fresh tuna steaks (1/2 inch thick)
lemon slices (optional)

Instructions

For basting sauce, combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Prepare grill for direct cooking.
Set aside half of basting sauce until ready to serve. Brush both sides of the tuna with basting sauce, place on grid over medium-high heat. Grill tuna for 4 minutes, basting generously with sauce. Turn and grill for 4 to 6 minutes, or until desired degree of doneness, brushing frequently with sauce. Add lemon slices to grill for the last few minutes, if desired.
Transfer tuna to serving dish lined with arugula. Heat reserved sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Drizzle over fish and greens when ready to serve. Garnish with lemon slices.
