Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3/4 cup wasabi sesame seeds
1/3 cup coarsely cracked black pepper
1/3 cup coarse Hawaiian sea salt
Four 6- to 8-ounce 1 1/2-inch-thick ahi tuna steaks
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill
4 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soybean oil
2 ounces spring mix
4 tablespoons capers
2 large carrots
2 large tomatoes
1 small red cabbage
1 cucumber
1 romaine heart
1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
1 lemon
2 avocados

Steps:

  • For the fish: Blend the wasabi seeds, cracked black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt in a medium bowl. Place the ahi steaks in the bowl, and carefully roll and flip the steaks to ensure they are completely coated. Remove the steaks to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • For the vinaigrette: Mix together the honey, vinegar, pepper and mustard in a small bowl, then stream in the oil, whisking constantly.
  • For the salad: Slice, dice, chop and mix the spring mix, capers, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, romaine and onion, to your liking, then toss with some vinaigrette and plate four salads. Place one lemon wedge on the side of each plate and quarter the avocados. Slice each quartered avocado 3 to 6 times, creating an avocado fan out of each quarter. Set aside.
  • Before heating your grill, you will need to scrape, clean and then oil it. Once clean, preheat to medium-high and close until ripping hot, about 10 minutes. Fold a clean dish towel into a squarish 4-by-6-inch block. Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a bowl and dip one side of your dish towel block in the oil.
  • Open the grill and begin coating grill grates with the oiled towel block. Repeat until grill grates are slick and clean. Pour the sesame oil on a small plate. Place each steak in the sesame oil on both sides, then on the grill.
  • Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then pull immediately from grill, slice 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick with a heavy sharp blade and place directly on your plated salads. Top each salad with an avocado fan. Lastly, pair your dish with a nice Chardonnay or a local IPA. Cheers and enjoy!

I combined a few recipes to come up with this. The dressing is so good. I used 1 TBS wasabi paste, which makes it a little spicy, so reduce amount if you like less spicy.

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.

Tips:

  • For the freshest ahi tuna, look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Avoid any fish that is brown or has a slimy texture.
  • When searing ahi tuna, it is important to use a very hot pan so that the fish cooks quickly and evenly. If the pan is not hot enough, the fish will overcook and become dry.
  • To make sure the ahi tuna is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For rare tuna, cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-rare tuna, cook to an internal temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit. And for medium tuna, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The wasabi vinaigrette is a great way to add a spicy and flavorful kick to the ahi tuna salad. To make the vinaigrette, simply whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, wasabi paste, and sugar. You can adjust the amount of wasabi paste to taste.
  • The ahi tuna salad is a delicious and versatile dish. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a great option for meal prep.

Conclusion:

The seared ahi tuna salad with wasabi vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ahi tuna is seared to perfection and served on a bed of mixed greens. The wasabi vinaigrette adds a spicy and flavorful kick to the salad. This dish is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
