Ingredients

  • Good olive oil
  • 1 pound very fresh tuna steak, 1-inch thick
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lime, zest grated
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 5 dashes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
  • 1 firm, ripe Hass avocado, medium-diced
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced scallion, white and green parts
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 9 hot dog rolls, grilled or toasted
  • 1 bunch baby arugula, washed and spun dry

Directions

Heat a charcoal grill with hot coals. Brush the grill with oil.

Brush both sides of the tuna with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cook the tuna over the hot coals for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate. The tuna should be seared on the outside and raw inside. Allow to cool and cut into cubes.

(If you don't want to heat a grill, you can sear the tuna in a dry saute pan over high heat. Heat the pan for 2 minutes, add the tuna steaks and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side until seared on the outside and still raw inside.)

For the dressing, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, wasabi powder, soy sauce, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Toss the avocado in the dressing and then add the tuna, red onion, scallion, and sesame seeds. Line the rolls with arugula leaves, fill with the tuna mixture, and serve.

    Fantastic. A great combo of flavors; very fresh, crisp and bright. About the salt issue...we thought it was a good amount of salt between the soy and the sea salt, but we tend to use a bit more salt than most. We also figured that the tuna, avocado and bread would even out the saltiness. Well, that said, it was still a bit too salty for us. Next time we will cut the salt in half. We skipped the hot dog rolls and used some take and bake French rolls and they were perfect. We will definitely make this again. Great weekend lunch.

    I was so worried about overusing salt that I used low sodium soy sauce. It wasn't salty or too acidic at all compared to what other reviewers mentioned. I did modify the recipe because I like asian flavors so I added fresh minced ginger, a tablespoon of horseradish and a few more dashes of hot sauce. I'll be making this again, specially in the summer. Thanks Ina!
