Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil, garlic and thyme.

Drain and discard marinade. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
Grill tuna, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. One wine you could try is Peju Province Merlot. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 38 dollars.
Peju Province Merlot
The 2010 vintage showcases Merlot's stylish and alluring characteristics with vivid flavors of plum and black currant. Hints of anise and vanilla on the nose open up to complex, integrated layers of raspberry, cherry and cocoa flavors that impart a striking impression on the palate.
