Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Tuna

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture over both sides of the tuna steaks.

Grill or Blacken the Tuna

Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, place the tuna steaks directly on the grill. If blackening, add a little more olive oil to the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns

While the tuna is cooking, slice the whole wheat buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet.

Assemble the Sandwich

Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add the cooked tuna steak on top, then place the top half of the bun over it.

Serve

Serve the grilled or blackened tuna steak sandwiches with lemon wedges on the side.
