A delightful grilled tuna recipe with a spicy wasabi kick, paired with a creamy sauce for a perfect balance of flavors.
Combine the wasabi powder and water in a small bowl to form a paste.
Letting the wasabi paste sit for a few minutes enhances its flavor.
Mix the wasabi paste with rice vinegar, mayonnaise, and minced garlic in a bowl.
Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for a more refreshing taste.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Mix soy sauce and wasabi powder in a small bowl.
Adjust the wasabi amount based on your spice preference.
Brush the marinade onto both sides of the tuna steaks.
Let the tuna sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the tuna steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish.
Avoid overcooking to keep the tuna tender and juicy.
Slice the grilled tuna thinly and serve with the prepared wasabi sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
