Marinade for Tuna Steaks

Hi everyone!
During the past week, temperatures have risen again and it's the perfect time for a little barbecue.
Now, I love meat, but tuna's almost better, especially, when marinated the right way.

So, to make absolutely delicious tuna steaks, just go out and get this:
-tuna steaks, one per person
-olive oil
-the juice of 2-3 limes
-1-2 tsp coarse salt
-some mixed dried herbs (your favourite mix will be the best choice)
-3 garlic cloves
-pepper to taste

First of all, put some olive oil in a bowl, about as much as you'll need to cover the tuna steaks.
Then, add the lime juice, the salt and the herbs. Halve the garlic, remove the green sprout and crush the garlic, then add it to the marinade.
Add pepper to taste and put the tuna steaks in the bowl, making sure that all of it is well covered.
Let the steaks rest for a while and when the tuna starts to look "cooked", you can take it out of the marinade again.

Tips:
1. This marinade works well with tuna, but also with other firm fish, like trout.
2. The tuna should still be pink in the middle when served, so make sure to only get fresh fish.
3. The type of herbs you use can change the taste of the marinade a lot, so experiment until you find what works best for you.
