I don’t know if you like fresh or frozen ahi tuna steaks…but, when I found a recipe that inspired this one? It has been added to the favorites list. There are many who request this recipe for grilled dill ahi tuna steaks when they have their feet under my table. Ahi tuna steaks. Grilled. Marinated with a great dill sauce…and more sauce added to grilled bread. With toppings to bring it next level.

Oh, my goodness! Repeat after me…

Grilled Dill Ahi Tuna Steaks…

Just add them to your menu plan this week.

While the grill is hot…and fare needs a break from burgers…with a bit of fresh dill, lemon, red onion, arugula, and fresh tomatoes and cucumbers added in.

And if the temps are too hot right now to grill? Save this one for cooler fall weather.

I promise you will thank me.

So much flavor. From the dill to the grill, it’s so very good. I first shared this on the VUE last summer, but knew you might need to have the recipe card for those saving them.

Equipment

1 grill
1 dish or zipper bag for marinating
1 bowl for mixing marinade
1 zester for zesting lemon
1 juicer
1 knife and cutting board

Ingredients

4 fresh ahi tuna steaks
8- 1/2" slices of a rustic bread
2 fresh tomatoes, sliced
1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 C arugula

Lemon Dill Sauce

1 1/2 C mayonnaise
1 large lemon- both zest and juice
2 T fresh dill, finely minced

Instructions

Lemon Dill Mayo

Mix together mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice and fresh dill. Divide in half so that you have half for marinating and half for serving on sandwiches.
TIP: I leave about 1 cup of dill mayo to spread on bread when serving.

Grilled Dill Sandwiches

Slice tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber and place in individual serving containers. Add arugula to an individual serving dish. Refrigerate until serving.
Add fresh ahi tuna steaks to a dish and cover both sides with the dill mayo. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
Brush both sides of a dense bread- I love Panera's country rustic sour dough- with olive oil. Add to a cookie sheet with sides to take to toast both sides on the grill.
Preheat your grill and carefully toast each side of the bread and then arrange on a serving tray.
Add tuna to your grill and cook for your desired doneness. Cook one side over direct heat and then turn over and finish cooking on indirect heat About 2-3 minutes on each side for just pink inside rather than rare,
TIP: For these sandwiches, we prefer to cook them until they are just pink inside, rather than serving rare.
Place tuna on serving tray.
Serve with toasted bread, dill mayo, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onion and arugula.
A quick and easy entree that your guests will love.

Notes

Easy and perfect summer meal when guests have feet under your table. Serve with oven fries to finish the menu.

Honestly? That dill mayo would be amazing on so many different sandwiches. It’s a keeper. So easy and delicious.

See what I mean?

Feel free to serve them with oven fries or smashed potatoes...that’s all that’s needed.

Well, unless you finish with a peach cobbler like I did with my last gathering…

Perfect summer meal.

Hope you enjoy!! I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
