Tuna With Wasabi Lime Butter Sauce image

I have been making this recipe for years. It was actually one of the first things I ever learned to cook. Remains a staple in my cookbook.

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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).
  • This dish goes well served with garlic mashed potatoes and french green beans.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer recipes that are simple and easy to follow.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this dish. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. The ingredients were all very high-quality, but I think you could get away with using less expensive options without sacrificing any flavor.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook tuna, and this recipe definitely fit the bill. The wasabi lime butter sauce was a great way to add some extra flavor and richness to the fish.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add a bit more lime juice and zest to the sauce, and I would also cook the tuna for a shorter amount of time.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I found some of the steps to be a bit confusing.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna was dry and overcooked. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different cooking method.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy. It was more like a thin glaze.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best tuna he's ever had.

This recipe is a keeper! The combination of wasabi, lime, and butter is simply divine. I served it over rice and it was the perfect meal.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! My family loved the zesty flavor of the sauce and the tuna was so moist and flaky. I will definitely be making this again.
