1
Marinate the Tuna
In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the tuna steaks and coat them thoroughly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2
Preheat the Grill
While the tuna is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

3
Grill the Tuna
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated tuna steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
4
Remove and Rest
After grilling, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and pesto sauce together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

6
Prepare the Rolls
Slice the rustic rolls in half and spread a generous amount of the pesto mayonnaise on each half.
7
Add Tuna and Greens
Place the grilled tuna steak on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a handful of baby greens and place the top half of the roll on.
