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:
- Combine the white wine vinegar, white wine and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Strain out shallot and discard, return liquid to the pan.
- Stir the wasabi and soy sauce into the reduction in the pan. Over low heat, gradually whisk in butter one cube at a time allowing the mixture to emulsify. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

WASABI BUTTER
A hint of wasabi's mustard-horseradish flavor makes the sweet taste of corn pop. It's just as tasty smeared over cornbread. -Nila Grahl, Gurnee, Illinois

VEAL MEDALLIONS WITH A WASABI HERB BUTTER
This is a very simple meal to put together and it tastes great, all the flavours go really well together. The butter has to be made ahead of time as you have to soften to make and then you want it to harden up again, so just bear this in mind when preparing.

- Combine mustard and thyme leaves in a bowl and add medallions, toss to coat medallions.
- Add oil to a pan and heat, add veal and cook until browned on both sides and tender. You can grill if preferred. Top hot medallions with slices of butter, if they are not hot enough to melt butter, you can just pop them under the grill for a minute or so.
- For The Butter.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Spoon butter mixture onto foil, roll up firmly in a log shape, refrigerate until firm.
- I served mine with spicy leek and mushrooms and sweet potato curls.
- The potato curls are really easy to make, taste great and add wonderful colour to a dish. All you do is peel strips with a vegetable peeler, and then deep fry in batches, until they curl and are crisp.
- They also make a great snack, you can make these on there own, season after and you have slightly different tasting homemade chips.

WASABI BUTTER
Most Wasabi is powdered horseradish, how ever it varies greatly from brand to brand - so you will need to adjust the Wasabi according to your brand and your preference. Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1 1/2 times the amount called for.
