Mediterranean Tuna Skewers

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (2 skewers each) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds tuna steak (about 1½-inch thick), cut into about 24 pieces
  • ½ cup olive oil, plus more drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 18 large button mushrooms
  • 24 cherry tomatoes
  • Lemon wedges, optional
  • 12 metal or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
  • Prepared whole wheat couscous or your other favorite whole grain (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper; mix to combine well. Add tuna; cover and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes. 
  2. While tuna is marinating, wash and prepare veggies. Halve and remove seeds from bell peppers and cut into large chunks. Cut red onion into large chunks. Cut mushrooms in half.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
  4. Prepare kebabs by threading each skewer with a tomato, then begin alternating tuna and veggies on the skewers, so that there are about two to three pieces of tuna separated by a few pieces of veggies on each skewer; top with a tomato. Place skewers on a plate; drizzle with marinade. 
  5. Grill about 3 to 5 minutes, or until well-browned on one side. Using tongs, flip and cook on other side, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve with prepared whole wheat couscous or other whole grain and a lemon wedge.
