    Seared Ahi Tuna Glazed With Wasabi Butter,I’ve always loved wasabi with tuna, but usually the wasabi overpowers such a delicate fish. When this recipe came to me through a friend, who doesn’t recall its origins, I finally found the perfect marriage of flavors. I can’t make this often enough!,For a different spin on a terrific recipe – add a tablespoon or two of honey to the sauce while it’s heating…Yummmm!,I dislike when people write reviews with significant changes to the recipe … That being said I made two changes: 1) used lime juice instead of lemon and 2) I made this into a compound butter rather than a hot butter sauce. I mix all of the ingredients thoroughly, sometimes with a mixer, then roll (quarter diameter size) into plastic wrap and chill. We slice the butter compound into small discs and serve in top of the hot seared tuna. Really, really good!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Drizzle Sesame Oil on Both Sides of Each Tuna Steaks. Season With Salt and Pepper.

    2
    Done

    Combine Remaining Ingredients in a Small Sauce Pan. Heat Over Low Heat Until Butter Is Melted, Stirring Constantly to Mix and Prevent Scorching.

    3
    Done

    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.

    Done

    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.
