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.

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER



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!

Provided by VenomousKate

Categories     Tuna

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:

  • To ensure the freshest tuna steaks, purchase them from a reputable seafood market or fishmonger. Opt for sushi-grade tuna if available, as it is of the highest quality and suitable for raw consumption.
  • When searing the tuna steaks, make sure the pan is very hot before adding the fish. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare, depending on your preference.
  • To make the wasabi-lime butter sauce, use fresh ingredients whenever possible, including limes, cilantro, and wasabi paste. The sauce should be creamy and slightly tangy, with a hint of heat from the wasabi.
  • Serve the seared tuna steaks immediately with the wasabi-lime butter sauce. You can also garnish the dish with additional cilantro leaves or lime wedges for a pop of color and flavor.
  • If you are unable to find tuna steaks, you can substitute another type of fish, such as salmon or swordfish. However, adjust the cooking time accordingly, as these fish may cook more quickly than tuna.

Conclusion:

The combination of seared tuna steaks and zesty wasabi-lime butter sauce creates a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, this recipe is sure to impress your guests. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try – you won't be disappointed!
