Seared Ahi Tuna Glazed With Wasabi Butter image

I've always loved wasabi with tuna, but usually the wasabi overpowers such a delicate fish. When this recipe came to me through a friend, who doesn't recall its origins, I finally found the perfect marriage of flavors. I can't make this often enough!

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 ounces ahi tuna steaks, around 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
salt and pepper
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons wasabi paste (the tube kind)
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
lemon slice (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
  • While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
  • Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, sushi-grade tuna. If you can't find sushi-grade tuna, you can also use frozen tuna that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • 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.
  • If you don't have lime juice, you can use lemon juice instead. However, lime juice will give the dish a more authentic flavor.
  • To make the wasabi-lime butter, simply combine the butter, wasabi powder, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of extra heat.
  • When cooking the tuna, be careful not to overcook it. Tuna is best when it is cooked rare or medium-rare. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the tuna immediately with the wasabi-lime butter and your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This tuna with wasabi-lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of the savory tuna, the spicy wasabi, and the tangy lime is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook tuna, give this recipe a try!
