Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Sandwich Preparation
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear. Season both sides of the tuna steaks with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Tuna
Once the oil is hot, gently place the seasoned tuna steaks in the skillet. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare to medium-rare. Adjust the time depending on your desired doneness.
Slice the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the seared tuna into thin strips.
Prepare the Bread
While the tuna is resting, slice the ciabatta buns in half. Optionally, you can toast them lightly in the skillet.
Prepare the Filling
Slice the avocado and tomato. Set aside.
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread 2 tablespoons of wasabi mayonnaise on the bottom half of each ciabatta bun. Layer with lettuce, sliced avocado, sliced tomato, and the sliced seared tuna.
Finish and Serve
Top with the other half of the ciabatta bun. Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately.
