Recipe for Wasabi-Encrusted Tuna Steaks | |
1 TB. | Five-spice powder |
1 TB | grated fresh ginger |
2 TBs | sake |
2 TBs | rice vinegar |
2 Tbs. | Tamari |
½ cup | sesame oil |
2 pounds | Ahi, (sushi-grade) tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick |
½ pound wasabi peas, crushed (place in zipper bag and use rolling pin or other heavy object to crush. | |
2 Tbs. | Light brown sugar |
Cooking oil for sautéing fish
In a large bow, whisk together the five-spice power, ginger, sake, rice vinegar, tamari and sesame oil. Add the tuna steaks, and turn to coat. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, >meanwhile, combine the crushed wasabi peas and brown sugar in a pie plate.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, and press them into the pea mixture to coat all surfaces. Then pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Next, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add several steaks (don’t forget mine) at a time to the pan, searing each side about 30 seconds, using tongs to turn steaks so that the top, bottom and sides are seared. The tuna will be very rare (ok by me) with a nice crust. Repeat with remaining steaks, Whisk sauce to recombine, then drizzle over tuna and serve (to me).
