How to Make Grilled Tuna With Wasabi Butter

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large shallow dish, arrange tuna steaks in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Pour over tuna steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Marinate tuna for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While tuna marinates, prepare the wasabi butter: In a small bowl, mash together 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste (or more, to taste). Set aside.
  6. Season tuna steaks lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Grill tuna for 7-10 minutes, turning 2-3 times, basting frequently with the marinade to keep it moist. Tuna cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook!
  8. Transfer grilled tuna steaks to a serving platter.
  9. Top each tuna steak with a generous spoonful of wasabi butter.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
