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.

Provided by DARLA

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 40m

Yield 6

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.
  • Stir the wasabi and soy sauce into the reduction in the pan. Over low heat, gradually whisk in butter one cube at a time allowing the mixture to emulsify. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Onion     Marinate     Dinner     Tuna     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Soy Sauce     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 serrano chile, seeded, minced
Freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 pounds 1 1/4 -inch-thick ahi tuna, cut into 1- to 1 1/4 -inch cubes
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
1 large sweet onion (such as Maui or Vidalia), cut into 1-inch squares
6 (12-inch-long) metal skewers
Additional chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk first 8 ingredients in medium bowl to blend; season to taste with ground white pepper. Transfer 3 tablespoons marinade to small bowl and reserve. Add tuna to remaining marinade in medium bowl and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Alternate tuna cubes, bell pepper squares, and onion squares on each of 6 metal skewers. Grill to desired doneness, turning frequently, about 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Drizzle reserved marinade over; sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • For the freshest tuna, choose steaks that are bright red and firm to the touch.
  • Make sure your grill is hot before cooking the tuna. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and keep it moist on the inside.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers instead. Just be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using, to prevent them from burning.
  • If you don't have wasabi powder, you can use prepared wasabi paste. Just be sure to use a small amount, as it can be quite spicy.
  • Serve the tuna kebabs immediately with the wasabi sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna kebabs with wasabi sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna is cooked to perfection and the wasabi sauce adds a nice kick of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
