SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI-BUTTER SAUCE



Seared Tuna with Wasabi-Butter Sauce image

I've had the seared tuna in nice restaurants, but this is better than all of them. One tablespoon of wasabi sounds like a lot of heat, but somehow this cooking method mellows it to almost nothing, just leaves the flavor. Really really great.

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
10 fluid ounces white wine

Wasabi Sesame Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3/4 cup wasabi sesame seeds
1/3 cup coarsely cracked black pepper
1/3 cup coarse Hawaiian sea salt
Four 6- to 8-ounce 1 1/2-inch-thick ahi tuna steaks
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill
4 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soybean oil
2 ounces spring mix
4 tablespoons capers
2 large carrots
2 large tomatoes
1 small red cabbage
1 cucumber
1 romaine heart
1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
1 lemon
2 avocados

Steps:

  • For the fish: Blend the wasabi seeds, cracked black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt in a medium bowl. Place the ahi steaks in the bowl, and carefully roll and flip the steaks to ensure they are completely coated. Remove the steaks to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • For the vinaigrette: Mix together the honey, vinegar, pepper and mustard in a small bowl, then stream in the oil, whisking constantly.
  • For the salad: Slice, dice, chop and mix the spring mix, capers, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, romaine and onion, to your liking, then toss with some vinaigrette and plate four salads. Place one lemon wedge on the side of each plate and quarter the avocados. Slice each quartered avocado 3 to 6 times, creating an avocado fan out of each quarter. Set aside.
  • Before heating your grill, you will need to scrape, clean and then oil it. Once clean, preheat to medium-high and close until ripping hot, about 10 minutes. Fold a clean dish towel into a squarish 4-by-6-inch block. Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a bowl and dip one side of your dish towel block in the oil.
  • Open the grill and begin coating grill grates with the oiled towel block. Repeat until grill grates are slick and clean. Pour the sesame oil on a small plate. Place each steak in the sesame oil on both sides, then on the grill.
  • Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then pull immediately from grill, slice 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick with a heavy sharp blade and place directly on your plated salads. Top each salad with an avocado fan. Lastly, pair your dish with a nice Chardonnay or a local IPA. Cheers and enjoy!

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER



Seared Ahi Tuna Glazed With Wasabi Butter image

I've always loved wasabi with tuna, but usually the wasabi overpowers such a delicate fish. When this recipe came to me through a friend, who doesn't recall its origins, I finally found the perfect marriage of flavors. I can't make this often enough!

Provided by VenomousKate

Categories     Tuna

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 ounces ahi tuna steaks, around 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons wasabi paste (the tube kind)
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
lemon slice (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
  • While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
  • Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.

TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE



Teddy's Mommy's Pan Seared Ahi Tuna With Wasabi Sauce image

This is a combination of two recipes I found while looking around on the internet. One didn't have the sesame seeds and one had the sauce I wanted. So I mixed ideas. If your tuna isn't bright red and it flakes apart you won't want to use it for this dish. I am finding if it isn't the right color and isn't fresh it does not taste right. I have purchased steaks in individual plastic packs that have been pre-frozen from the fish counter with good results. In the picture you see it with a vegetable it is Recipe #91301.

Time 30m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ahi tuna steaks, 1/2 lb, 1-inch thick
1/2 cup white sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon coriander seed, crushed (or 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil (vegetable, corn, canola, etc.)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup daikon radish, grated use large holes on cheese grater

Steps:

  • Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
  • Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
  • Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
  • Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
  • Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
  • Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
  • Carefully place both steaks into oil.
  • Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
  • When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
  • Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
  • I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest Ahi tuna possible: Look for fish that is bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid fish that is dull or has a slimy texture.
  • Sear the tuna quickly over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside rare and tender.
  • Use a good quality wasabi: Wasabi is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for wasabi that is fresh and has a bright green color.
  • Serve the tuna immediately: Seared Ahi tuna is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will continue to cook as it sits, so it's important to eat it while it's still rare and tender.

Conclusion:

Seared Ahi tuna with wasabi is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The fish is cooked quickly over high heat, which helps to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside rare and tender. The wasabi adds a nice spicy kick to the dish, and the sesame seeds add a nutty flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
