Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tuna rolls hold their shape during grilling, make sure to pack the tuna mixture tightly into the nori sheets and roll them up snugly.
  • For a crispy outer layer, brush the tuna rolls lightly with oil before grilling. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat cooking oil.
  • Cook the tuna rolls over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the center tender and juicy. Avoid overcooking, as the tuna will become dry.
  • Serve the tuna rolls immediately after grilling, while they are still hot and crispy. You can garnish them with additional sliced avocado, cucumber, or sesame seeds.
  • For a healthier version, use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice in the tuna mixture.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna rolls are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are packed with protein from the tuna and vegetables, and they are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. The combination of flavors and textures in these rolls is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that is both healthy and delicious, give grilled tuna rolls a try.
