Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Wasabi Aioli

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and wasabi paste. Mix until smooth and set aside.

2

Season the Ahi Tuna

Rub the Ahi tuna steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

3

Grill the Ahi Tuna

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the tuna steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.

4

Prepare the Baguette

While the tuna is grilling, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. Optionally, you can toast it on the grill for a minute.

5

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread the wasabi aioli on both sides of the baguette. Layer with grilled Ahi steak, sliced tomato, and arugula.

6

Serve

Close the sandwich, slice it in half, and serve immediately.
