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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
10 fluid ounces white wine
¼ cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon wasabi paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 cup chopped cilantro leaves
6 (6 ounce) fresh tuna steaks, 1 inch thick

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 1/2 pounds yellowfin tuna, free of any skin or gristle
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 fresh hamburger buns with seeds
1/4 cup Japanese pickled ginger, optional

Steps:

  • Make the glaze: Combine all the glaze ingredients in a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the glaze coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain through a sieve and reserve in a warm place until tuna burgers are cooked. (The glaze can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.)
  • Make the burgers: Grind the tuna in a meat grinder or chop with a large sharp knife to the texture of hamburger meat. (Do not use a food processor, which will shred the tuna rather than chop it.)
  • Transfer the ground tuna to a bowl and combine with the garlic, mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Divide the tuna into 4 equal portions. Using your hands, roll each part into a smooth ball and then flatten into a compact patty.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna burgers until browned and medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Serve each burger on a buttered toasted bun and spread with a tablespoon of warm glaze. Garnish the burgers with equal amounts of pickled ginger slices.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna, look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Avoid any tuna that is brown or has a slimy texture.
  • If you are using frozen tuna, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold water. Do not thaw tuna at room temperature, as this can promote the growth of bacteria.
  • Sear the tuna over high heat to create a crispy crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the tuna from becoming dry.
  • Do not overcook the tuna. Tuna is a delicate fish and should be cooked for only a few minutes per side. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the tuna immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for tuna include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice.
