Recipe Instructions

Prepare fire in a charcoal grill.

In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, sesame oil, ginger, mustard, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Lightly brush cut sides of rolls with mayonnaise mixture. Lightly oil grill rack. Place rolls, cut-sides down, on rack about 4 inches from fire and grill until light golden. Set rolls around perimeter of rack, away from coals, to keep warm.

Lightly brush tuna with olive oil and grill until golden on first side, about 4 minutes. Turn, season to taste with salt and pepper, and continue grilling until golden on second side but still slightly pink at center, 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until done to your liking.

Remove tuna and rolls from grill. Place each piece of tuna on bottom half of a roll. Top each with equal amount of mayonnaise mixture, lettuce and onion slice and other half of roll. Serve immediately.
