I made this tonight, it was pretty decent and I have plenty to take in to work this week. Although I did screw up the recipe a bit. Didn’t look at my spaghetti package until after I was done, was more then twice then what the recipe called for. Not sure if I got to 2 cups of chicken either, but it still was decent.

Ingredients
4 tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick (2 lbs. total weight)
Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped or 1 tsp. dried
1 tsp. fresh grated or dried powdered ginger
1 sliced clove garlic
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil

Directions
In a mixing bowl blend the salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, thyme, soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. Brush the mixture all over the tuna steaks. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 1/2 to 1 hour until ready to broil.
Broil on rack under broiler about 4 inches from heat source, about 3 minutes per side, or grill on high (cover closed) 3 minutes per side. Leftover marinade can be heated and served over steaks.

I have made this several times this week, didn’t want to lose the recipe. I don’t add garlic since I usually don’t have it. I usually don’t have thyme either, but I use a Italian seasoning that includes thyme.
