How to Make Grilled Wasabi Tuna

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon wasabi paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic. Rub this mixture all over the tuna steaks and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the tuna steaks for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, aim for 5 minutes per side; for medium, cook for 6-7 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level.
  4. While the tuna grills, prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger. Serve the sauce alongside the grilled tuna.
