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.

Steps:
- The above ingredients can be found in a lot of regular grocery stores. But you will find them in just about any Asian grocery store. There are imitation mirins out there, which are without alcohol they are fine but tend to be sweeter I would use less if buying these.
- Cover one side of tuna completely with sesame seeds and place steaks back in fridge.
- Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan heat until blended and sugar has dissolved. Leave on low heat to keep warm.
- Heat some olive oil in a fry pan, place Tuna sesame seed side down cook for 4 minutes turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4 minutes. Tuna should be pink in the middle so vary cooking time for how thick the cut is. You can cook it all the way through if preferred, but the tuna will be a lot drier and tough.
- Serve tuna on plate with dipping sauce in separate small serving bowls.
- I served mine with spinach topped with a roasted sesame seed dressing.

WASABI SESAME CRUSTED SEARED AHI TUNA SALAD
Steps:
- For the fish: Blend the wasabi seeds, cracked black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt in a medium bowl. Place the ahi steaks in the bowl, and carefully roll and flip the steaks to ensure they are completely coated. Remove the steaks to a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- For the vinaigrette: Mix together the honey, vinegar, pepper and mustard in a small bowl, then stream in the oil, whisking constantly.
- For the salad: Slice, dice, chop and mix the spring mix, capers, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, romaine and onion, to your liking, then toss with some vinaigrette and plate four salads. Place one lemon wedge on the side of each plate and quarter the avocados. Slice each quartered avocado 3 to 6 times, creating an avocado fan out of each quarter. Set aside.
- Before heating your grill, you will need to scrape, clean and then oil it. Once clean, preheat to medium-high and close until ripping hot, about 10 minutes. Fold a clean dish towel into a squarish 4-by-6-inch block. Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a bowl and dip one side of your dish towel block in the oil.
- Open the grill and begin coating grill grates with the oiled towel block. Repeat until grill grates are slick and clean. Pour the sesame oil on a small plate. Place each steak in the sesame oil on both sides, then on the grill.
- Cook for 1 minute on each side. Then pull immediately from grill, slice 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick with a heavy sharp blade and place directly on your plated salads. Top each salad with an avocado fan. Lastly, pair your dish with a nice Chardonnay or a local IPA. Cheers and enjoy!
TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE
This is a combination of two recipes I found while looking around on the internet. One didn't have the sesame seeds and one had the sauce I wanted. So I mixed ideas. If your tuna isn't bright red and it flakes apart you won't want to use it for this dish. I am finding if it isn't the right color and isn't fresh it does not taste right. I have purchased steaks in individual plastic packs that have been pre-frozen from the fish counter with good results. In the picture you see it with a vegetable it is Recipe #91301.

Steps:
- Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
- Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
- Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
- Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
- Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
- Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
- Carefully place both steaks into oil.
- Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
- When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
- Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
- I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.

HERB CRUSTED SEARED TUNA WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE, GINGER CONFIT ON ENDIVE
Steps:
- Have tuna sliced as thick as possible cutting against the grain into 1 1/2-inch rectangular pieces. Rub the fish with olive oil and roll in thyme, peppercorns, salt, and pepper. On a very hot grill sear the fish on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending upon the desired doneness. Set aside and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
- For wasabi mayonnaise, start with 1 tablespoon of wasabi powder mixed with mayonnaise and add more, if desired, to taste.
- Slice ginger into very thin sticks about 1-inch long. Place ginger, sugar, water and lemon juice into heavy saucepan and reduce to thick syrup. Be careful not to boil past medium ball state.
- On individual washed white endive leaves place fish. Garnish with wasabi mayonnaise that has been put in a squeeze bottle and finish with a few pieces of ginger confit.
