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.

4 tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
vegetable oil, for brushing tuna
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
3 scallions, sliced thin
1 teaspoon minced fresh coriander (I use dry)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons wasabi paste
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Arrange tuna steaks in one layer in a shallow dish and lightly brush both sides with oil.
  • Spread peppercorns and dill evenly on both sides of tuna and marinate 20 minutes.
  • Grill tuna on a oiled rack set about 5-6 inches over glowing coals. 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare fish. (Alternatively, grill tuna in a preheated oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan).
  • Make sauce while tuna marinates:.
  • In a heavy saucepan combine scallions, coriander, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi paste and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture and adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely. (Do not allow sauce to simmer. Sauce should not get hot enough to seperate).

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!

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.

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Onion     Low Carb     Mother's Day     Father's Day     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons wasabi powder (horseradish powder)
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon dry Sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
4 green onions, very thinly sliced
4 6-ounceahi tuna steaks (each about 1 inch thick)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 cup radish sprouts

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup water and wasabi powder in medium bowl to form smooth paste. Whisk in soy sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, Sherry, sesame oil and ginger. Stir in green onions. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add tuna and sear until opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Spoon cucumber onto center of plates. Top with tuna. Spoon sauce around. Garnish with radish sprouts.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tuna steaks or fillets. Frozen tuna can be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
  • To ensure the tuna is cooked evenly, use a thick skillet or griddle. A thin skillet will cause the tuna to cook unevenly.
  • Do not overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish and it should be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • To make the wasabi lime butter sauce, use fresh wasabi paste. Wasabi powder can be used, but it will not have the same flavor and intensity as fresh wasabi.
  • If you do not have a zester, you can use a Microplane grater to zest the lime.
  • Serve the tuna with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This tuna with wasabi lime butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tuna is cooked quickly over high heat, which helps to keep it moist and flavorful. The wasabi lime butter sauce is a perfect complement to the tuna, adding a bit of spice and tang. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
