Sandwich Ingredients

Preparation

Sandwich Preparation

1. 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.

2. Heat the Oil

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Prepare the Bread

While the tuna is resting, slice the ciabatta buns in half. Optionally, you can toast them lightly in the skillet.

6. Prepare the Filling

Slice the avocado and tomato. Set aside.

7. 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.

8. Finish and Serve

Top with the other half of the ciabatta bun. Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately.
