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.

TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE
This is a combination of two recipes I found while looking around on the internet. One didn't have the sesame seeds and one had the sauce I wanted. So I mixed ideas. If your tuna isn't bright red and it flakes apart you won't want to use it for this dish. I am finding if it isn't the right color and isn't fresh it does not taste right. I have purchased steaks in individual plastic packs that have been pre-frozen from the fish counter with good results. In the picture you see it with a vegetable it is Recipe #91301.

Steps:
- Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
- Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
- Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
- Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
- Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
- Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
- Carefully place both steaks into oil.
- Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
- When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
- Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
- I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.
