Best Recipe for Grilled Lemon-Oregano Tuna Sandwiches with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 (4-ounce) pieces tuna (about 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and seeded
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic mashed with 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sourdough, salt, caraway, or poppyseed sandwich rolls, sliced in half
  • Watercress or arugula leaves, washed and dried
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill. (Alternately, the tuna can be prepared in a hot skillet and cooked for 2 minutes per side.)
  2. In a shallow dish combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and salt and pepper with a fork. Place the tuna in the dish and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and chill while preparing the cucumber sauce. Coarsely shred the cucumber onto a clean cloth and squeeze to extract the liquid. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the yogurt, mint and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use. Grill the tuna for 2 minutes per side depending on thickness of steak. Transfer each tuna steak to a roll and top with cucumber sauce and watercress or arugula. Replace roll top, slice each sandwich into quarters. Garnish with lemon wedges.
