How to Make Sesame Crusted Tuna With Wasabi Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon wasabi powder until a smooth paste forms.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, 1 tablespoon dry sherry, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Set the wasabi sauce aside.
- Coat both sides of the tuna steaks generously with sesame seeds.
- Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. The oil should be shimmering.
- Add the tuna steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side, or until the tuna reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the tuna from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the wasabi sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Pour the wasabi sauce over the tuna steaks or serve it on the side for dipping.
