Then stir the sauce and put half of it in a prep bowl for drizzling on the tuna steaks at the end.

Use the remaining herb sauce to coat the steaks, rubbing it onto both sides of the tuna. Then add additional salt and pepper and grill for a few minutes on each side until desired done. Cook until the steak is medium to medium. Serve half a steak per person, with the lemon slices, and drizzled with the reserved sauce.
