Seared Tuna Bites with Wasabi Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 lb sushi-grade tuna steak
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp wasabi paste
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 stalks scallions
• 1 tsp black sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1 lb tuna steak dry with paper towels. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp wasabi paste, and 1 tbsp soy sauce until smooth. Set aside.

3. 3

   Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the tuna cubes in a single layer and sear for 1 minute per side, until browned outside but still rare inside.

4. 4

   Transfer the seared tuna to a plate and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice the 2 scallions thinly.

5. 5

   Drizzle the wasabi sauce over the tuna bites, then sprinkle with the sliced scallions and 1 tsp black sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

6. 6

   If you like extra heat, add more wasabi to the sauce or serve with extra on the side.
