Description

Wasabi powder is fiery-hot, so adjust the proportion in the butter according to your heat tolerance. An Asian noodle salad from the deli, blanched sugar snap peas sprinkled with sesame seeds, and a bakery lime tart would be cooling additions to the menu.

Ingredients

4 5- to 6-ounce tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick
1/4 cup purchased teriyaki marinade
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons (about) wasabi powder (horseradish powder)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon light olive oil

Directions

  1. Place tuna in shallow glass dish. Pour marinade over and turn to coat. Let tuna stand 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Mix butter, wasabi powder, and chives in small bowl.
  2. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove tuna from marinade; brush on both sides with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill fish, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Top with wasabi butter and serve.
