- Top each bun with a tomato slice and then sprinkle a tbsp of grated mozzarella (or whichever cheese you are using) on top of the tomato.

STUFFED TUNA STEAKS
An Asian flavor that is very unique and delicious. This is one of those recipes that looks fancy but is actually quite easy to prepare. I used pre-bagged mixed greens, found near the bagged salads in the grocery store. You can make this in your broiler or on the grill!

Steps:
- Preaheat your grill or broiler.
- Mix together all the ingredients except the tuna and greens.
- Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to make a small incision on any side of the tuna steak, creating a pocket, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
- You can also make a small cut and then either wiggle the knife around gently or just start slowly easing the inside apart to create a large pocket.
- Place the tuna in the soy mixture, covering each side.
- Remove tuna from liquid, letting excess sauce drip off.
- Toss the greens with the sauce, drenching it in the liquid.
- Stuff the tuna pocket with the greens and seal the opening with toothpicks.
- Grill or broil the tuna, turning once, about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or however well-done you like your tuna.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality tuna. This will ensure that your tuna melts are flavorful and delicious.
- Don't overcook the tuna. Overcooked tuna is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your tuna melts a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan.
- Add other ingredients to your tuna melts. This can include things like vegetables, herbs, and spices. Some good options include onions, celery, bell peppers, dill, and paprika.
- Serve your tuna melts with your favorite sides. Some good options include salad, fries, and chips.
Conclusion:
Tuna melts are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna melts a try. You won't be disappointed!
