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

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.

AHI TUNA WITH VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
I've had this recipe at the Canoe House Restaurant and it is wonderful. Here's a little bit about the dish and the restaurant. At the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on Hawaii's Kohala coast, CanoeHouse chef Pat Saito uses ono steaks (a type of mackerel) for this dish. Ahi tuna, which is easier to find, makes a good substitute. Saito serves the fish with wasabi-laced mashed potatoes.

SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI-BUTTER SAUCE
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.

Steps:
- Combine the white wine vinegar, white wine and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Strain out shallot and discard, return liquid to the pan.
- Stir the wasabi and soy sauce into the reduction in the pan. Over low heat, gradually whisk in butter one cube at a time allowing the mixture to emulsify. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

Tips:
- Ensure the tuna steaks are sushi-grade or specifically intended for raw consumption.
- Pat the tuna steaks dry thoroughly before searing to prevent splattering and ensure a nice crust.
- Sear the tuna steaks in a very hot pan to quickly sear the outside while leaving the inside rare.
- Use a flavorful oil, such as avocado or grapeseed oil, for searing to infuse flavor into the tuna.
- Season the tuna steaks liberally with salt and pepper before searing to enhance their natural flavor.
- If you prefer your tuna cooked to a different doneness, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- For a more intense wasabi flavor, use fresh wasabi instead of prepared wasabi paste.
- Serve the seared ahi tuna immediately with the wasabi sauce, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger for a complete and authentic dining experience.

Pan-seared ahi tuna with wasabi sauce is a delectable and sophisticated dish that combines the rich flavors of seared tuna, spicy wasabi, and refreshing seaweed salad. It is an excellent choice for a special occasion meal or a romantic dinner.
