GINGER MARINATED TUNA WITH WASABI BUTTER

Steps:

• For the butter, mix all ingredients together in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the marinade, place all ingredients in blender jar and blend until ingredients are coarsely chopped and blended.
• Wash the tuna steaks under water, pat dry and place in shallow container.
• Pour prepared marinade over tuna and allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Remove the tuna from marinade, spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent from sticking to grill.
• Place the steaks on preheated grill and grill until your desired degree of doneness, turning once.
• Top each cooked steak with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon wasabi butter and serve with additional butter on the side.
• Please note that the cook time reflects the 30 minute marinade time.

SEARED AHI TUNA GLAZED WITH WASABI BUTTER

Steps:

• Drizzle sesame oil on both sides of each tuna steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly to mix and prevent scorching.
• While sauce is heating, heat a heavy frying pan on another burner with high heat. Place tuna in pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn and sear on the other side.
• Note: Tuna steak fans who like their tuna on the rare side (like me) will usually find 2 minutes searing time is ample. Folks who like their tuna steaks more well-done (like my DH) may want to sear their tuna for 4-5 minutes per side.

TUNA WITH WASABI LIME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Arrange tuna steaks in one layer in a shallow dish and lightly brush both sides with oil.
• Spread peppercorns and dill evenly on both sides of tuna and marinate 20 minutes.
• Grill tuna on a oiled rack set about 5-6 inches over glowing coals. 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare fish. (Alternatively, grill tuna in a preheated oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan).
• Make sauce while tuna marinates:.
• In a heavy saucepan combine scallions, coriander, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi paste and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture and adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely. (Do not allow sauce to simmer. Sauce should not get hot enough to seperate).
• This dish goes well served with garlic mashed potatoes and french green beans.
