How to Make Sweet Soy Grilled Tuna With Vegetables And Wasabi Honey Sauce

  1. **Make the Wasabi Honey Sauce:** In a food processor, combine 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 teaspoon wasabi powder. Process on high speed until completely smooth and emulsified.
  2. **Emulsify the Sauce:** With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup vegetable oil until a thick emulsion forms.
  3. **Adjust Consistency:** Add 1-2 tablespoons of water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
  4. **Prepare the Tuna:** Gently rub both sides of 2 (6-ounce) tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  5. **Sear the Tuna:** Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached (medium-rare is recommended). Let rest for a few minutes.
  6. **Sauté the Vegetables:** While the tuna rests, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  7. **Aromatics:** Add 2 minced cloves garlic and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. **Cook the Vegetables:** Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), and 1/2 cup sliced carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. **Season Vegetables:** Toss the vegetables with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  10. **Assemble the Dish:** Arrange the sautéed vegetables on plates. Slice the rested tuna steaks and place them on top of the vegetables.
  11. **Drizzle & Garnish:** Drizzle generously with the wasabi-honey sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds.
