Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Tuna steaks
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Teriyaki sauce
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 0.25 cups Pickled ginger
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to coat the pan evenly.
Sear the tuna steaks for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on the desired doneness. Tuna is best served rare to medium-rare, so avoid overcooking.
Reduce the heat to low. Brush the seared tuna steaks with teriyaki sauce and let it caramelize slightly, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and wasabi paste until smooth. Adjust the wasabi quantity to your heat preference.
Arrange the tuna steaks on plates. Drizzle or dollop the wasabi mayonnaise over the tuna.
Serve with a small pile of pickled ginger on the side for a tangy, refreshing bite.
Optional: Garnish the dish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sophisticated dish while the flavors are fresh and vibrant!
