Ingredients
•3 tablespoons good olive oil
•¾ pound very fresh tuna steak,
•2 teaspoons of kosher salt
•½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•1 lime, zested and juiced
•½ teaspoon wasabi powder
•1 teaspoon soy sauce
•5 dashes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
•2 tablespoon minced scallion, white and green parts
•½ a loaf of fresh ciabatta bread, cut into 2 sections and cut open length wise
•1 cup baby arugula, washed and spun dry
Directions
Preheat the grill on sear. Brush both sides of the tuna with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the tuna on the lower grill and close the grill. Cook the tuna for 6 minutes. Remove tuna to a plate and let cool while you prepare the dressing. 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 ½ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Whisk the dressing well and toss in the scallions. When tuna has cooled enough to handle, slice into ½ inch thick slices. Spoon ½ of the dressing onto all 4 pieces of the ciabatta. In a small bowl toss the arugula with the remaining dressing. Put the bottom half’s of the bread on the cutting board, top each with the tuna and equal amounts of the arugula. Place the remaining ciabatta on top, press down on sandwich. Place the sandwich back on the grill and grill for 4 minutes.
