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.

- 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:

- 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.

- Serve the tuna with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
