How to Make Asian Flavored Seared Tuna With Green Beans

1. In an 8x8x2-inch glass dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
2. Add the 2 (6-ounce) tuna steaks to the marinade.
3. Turn the tuna several times to coat evenly with the marinade.
4. Let the tuna marinate for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
6. Drain the green beans well.
7. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
8. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
9. Sprinkle the tuna steaks on all sides with freshly ground black pepper.
10. Add the tuna to the hot skillet and sear until just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
11. Transfer the seared tuna to plates.
12. Add the drained green beans, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and the reserved marinade to the skillet.
13. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced enough to coat the green beans, about 4 minutes.
14. Using tongs, place the green beans alongside the tuna on the plates.
15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
