Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, and carrot slices in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side until they are tender and slightly charred, then set aside.
Remove the tuna from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Set aside to rest while making the sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together wasabi paste, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon water to create the wasabi honey sauce.
Plate the grilled tuna alongside the vegetables. Drizzle the wasabi honey sauce over the top or serve on the side.
