MARINADE:
4 (4-ounce) tuna steaks, each about 1-inch thick
4 strips bacon, slightly cooked but not crisp
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Freshly ground pepper
WASABI CREAM SAUCE:
1 to 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
1 cup heavy cream
6 to 8 drops sesame oil

Steps:

Wrap each tuna steak with a strip of bacon and secure with wooden skewers or toothpicks. Make the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Marinate tuna steaks for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tuna steaks on a baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooked. Make the wasabi cream sauce: Combine wasabi and reserved marinade in a saucepan over low heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve on the side or drizzle on top before serving.
