Method

Preparation of Tuna

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tuna

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the tuna steaks with the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grilling the Tuna

  1. 3

    Grill the Tuna

    Place the marinated tuna steaks on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness is achieved.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the tuna is grilling, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Once the tuna is grilled, place a slice of cheese on top of each tuna steak, allowing it to melt slightly.

  3. 6

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Spread mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.

  4. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    Layer the grilled tuna with melted cheese onto one slice of the toasted bread. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles if desired.

  5. 8

    Top and Serve

    Finish with another slice of the toasted bread on top, cut in half, and serve immediately.
