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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest tuna possible. Fresh tuna has a vibrant red color and a firm texture. If you can't find fresh tuna, you can use frozen tuna, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Sear the tuna over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the tuna while leaving the inside rare and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the tuna. Tuna is a very delicate fish, so it's important to cook it for just a few minutes per side. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality wasabi butter sauce. The wasabi butter sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that is made with fresh wasabi and butter.
  • Serve the tuna immediately. Tuna is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is still hot and juicy.
