Ingredients
  • 4 6-oz. fresh tuna steaks, about ¾-inch thick
  • Vegetable oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons prepared wasabi*
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Brush tuna steaks on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy non-stick frying pan over high heat, sear steaks until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn over and sear other side. Be careful not to overcook tuna. It's best rare to medium-rare.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine butter, lemon juice, soy sauce and wasabi. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and emulsified. Remove from heat.

  • 3.

    Serve tuna immediately, drenched with sauce and sprinkled with green onions.
