Instructions:

Let’s get started on this culinary adventure!

Grilled Tuna:

1. Prepare Grill:

   • Start by getting your charcoal or gas grill ready for cooking.

2. Buttery Soy Sauce Mix:

   • In a pan, melt the butter and add a splash of soy sauce to create a delectable basting sauce.

3. Prep Tuna Steaks:

   • Dip the tuna steaks into the buttery soy sauce mixture, ensuring they’re nicely coated.
   • Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on each side for that extra flavor kick.

4. Grill Tuna:

   • Place the tuna steaks on the grill over medium-high heat.
   • Grill for 4 to 7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
   • While grilling, baste the tuna often with the buttery soy mixture.

5. Check Doneness:

   • The tuna should still have a slight pinkness in the middle when done.
   • Cooking time may vary based on your grill’s heat and the thickness of the steaks.

6. Enjoy the Flavor:

   • Once grilled to perfection, savor the delightful flavor of the buttery soy sauce blend complementing the freshness of the tuna.

Dagwood Assembly:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Heat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare Bread:

   • Butter your slices of bread and lightly toast them in the oven until golden brown.

3. Slice Figs:

   • Thinly slice the dried figs, removing any stems.

4. Assemble Dagwood:

   • Cut your loaf of bread horizontally down the middle.
   • Spread a generous amount of cream cheese on both sides of the bread.

5. Layer Ingredients:

   • On one side, start layering half of the sliced figs.
   • Next, arrange all of the ham slices, folding them in half and overlapping across the sandwich.
   • Layer on the turkey in the same manner as the ham.

6. Add Seasonings:

   • Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the layers.
   • Sprinkle a dash of oregano to taste.

7. Cheesy Topping:

   • Now, it’s time for the cheese! Layer on all the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese slices.
   • Criss-cross them for that lovely checkerboard pattern.

8. Final Touch:

   • Top it off with the remaining sliced figs.
   • Place the top half of the loaf on the sandwich.

9. Slice and Serve:

   • Cut your assembled Dagwood vertically into 4 to 5 slices.
   • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, especially when the bread is still warm from toasting.

10. For Later Enjoyment:

    • If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge.
    • When ready to eat, a quick zap in the microwave for about 10 to 15 seconds will warm it up perfectly.

Notes:

• Butter Tip: Don’t skimp on the butter! It adds richness and flavor to both the tuna and the sandwich.
• Soy Sauce Substitute: If you prefer, you can use reduced-sodium soy sauce for a lighter option.
• Secret Recipe: Originally crafted by my good friend Scooter, this recipe was meant to be kept under wraps. Luckily, it’s too good not to share!
