Ingredients
Scale
Tuna:
- 2 tuna steaks (6 to 7 ounces/180-200g each) (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 seedless English cucumbers, outer peel removed and thinly peeled lengthwise into wide strips
- 2 ripe avocados, cut in half, seed and skins removed
- Microgreens
- 1 jalapeno, sliced very thinly
- 1 lime, cut in half
Instructions
- Cook tuna: Drizzle half the oil over the tuna. Smear over one side then sprinkle with half the salt and pepper, flip and repeat. Heat skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Place tuna steak in the skillet and cook on all sides for 45 seconds. You just want to sear the outside but keep the center rare (118F in the middle). Move to a plate and allow to cool completely before slicing.
- Prepare the vegetables: Use either a vegetable peeler or mandolin to slice the cucumber lengthwise into long thin strips. Set on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt to remove excess water. With the avocado (rounded side face-up) cut into very thin ¼-inch thick slices lengthwise.
- Assemble the tuna salad rolls, slice, and serve: Once the tune is completely cool, cut it into thin ¼-inch thick squares (about 1-inch x 1-inch). To assemble: Place the cucumber strip in front of you (note: you may need to stack 2 pieces of cucumber on top of each other). Add a single layer of tuna starting from one end and leaving at least half the length bare (over-stuffed cucumber will be difficult to roll). Repeat with the avocado slices, a thin layer of microgreens, adding a single slice of jalapeno per roll. Starting at the end with the tuna, begin to roll to form a single bite-sized roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with lime juice.
