• Once marination is complete, mix Wasabi Powder and 1/2 tsp water and to form a paste (add another 1/4 tsp of water if paste is too dry). Once paste is formed, place the small mixing bowl upside down to bring the most out of the flavors. Note - the more you mix the Wasabi Powder, the spicier it will get.

• In a large Teflon frying pan, add high temp neutral cooking on high heat. Once the oil starts to lightly smoke, about 2-3 minutes, add tuna and sear uncovered for 15-20 seconds on all sides. Note - if you prefer medium-well cooked steaks, sear for 30-45 seconds per side, but we don't recommend cooking it for any longer.
• Transfer seared ahi steak to a serving plate, brush glaze sauce on top and finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!

PERFECT TUNA STEAK

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the tuna steak and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still rare on the inside. The tuna will continue cooking while sitting. For a medium-rare tuna steak, the internal temperature should be 130 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest point.
• Cool for 2 minutes. Then slice the tuna against the grain into ½-inch slices and serve immediately, with the sauce if desired.
