Seared Tuna with Soy Wasabi Glaze
Ingredients:
4 6 oz. fresh Ahi tuna steaks, about 3/4-inch thick
vegetable oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1-2 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1-2 Tbsp. prepared wasabi
Brush tuna steaks on both sides with the oil and season with salt and
pepper.
Combine the butter, onion, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi in a small
pan.
Heat a heavy, nonstick frying pan over high heat. Place the tuna in the pan
and sear until crispy and brown. Turn over and sear the other side. Be
careful not to overcook the tuna. It’s best rare to medium rare. While the
tuna is cooking, heat the butter mixture over low heat, stirring constantly
until smooth and emulsified. Serve the tuna immediately, drenched with the
sauce.
