Preparation
- Step 1
Start a gas or charcoal fire; heat should be moderately high and rack should be clean and about 4 inches from heat source. Brush each steak lightly with soy sauce and sprinkle with pepper. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, fresh ginger, one teaspoon soy sauce and sesame oil if you are using it.
- Step 2
Oil grill grates lightly; grill tuna about 2 minutes per side for rare, proportionately longer if you want it better done. Toast buns if you like.
- Step 3
Serve fish on buns, spread with some ginger mayonnaise and topped with a bit of pickled ginger, if you like.

Added a little garlic powder to the mayo, enjoyed that tweak.
Superb and simple! Delicious! We did, however, tweak it a little bit and created a wasabi mayo and topped with arugula. Will definitely be cooking this one again.
This was simple, but the whole family loved it. The mayo really makes the dish.
