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.

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.
