How to Make Teddy's Mommy's Pan Seared Ahi Tuna With Wasabi Sauce

  1. Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks.
  3. Sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. The tuna should be nicely seared on the outside and still pink inside.
  4. Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
  5. While the tuna rests, prepare the wasabi sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon wasabi paste (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar.
  6. Slice the rested tuna and arrange it on a plate. Drizzle generously with the wasabi sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and your favorite vegetable.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
