This is wonderful quick and easy recipe to make, it makes for a great after work fast meal and also it is healthy and full of flavour. It is a lower in carbs than most recipes which is always a bonus in our house. It is another I snagged in the swap I am in this month and one that was very much enjoyed by all and one that will definitely be making repeat performances in our house. If you want to view the original recipe please click here. The only change I made to this recipe was to add black and regular sesame seeds to the top of the tuna, I think it added to the flavour and gives a nice colour to the top. I served mine over veg and it was delicious.

Ingredients
1/2 Cup teriyaki marinade
1/2 Teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 Tuna steaks, each cut into 4 strips (I did 2 Tuna steaks and cooked and served whole.)
2 Tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon wasabi paste (I added more but just personal preference.)
2 Tablespoons pickled ginger
I also added 1 tablespoon each regular and black sesame seeds to coat tops of tuna, I found this to be a lovely addition.
Method
1. Mix the teriyaki marinade, five spice powder and ginger.
2. Place tuna slices into a non-metallic dish.
3. Pour over the marinade.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to marinade for 10 minutes, after marinating I removed steaks and added seeds.
5. In a large non-stick pan (or use your barbecue) heat the oil.
6. Fry the tuna over fairly high heat for 1-2 minutes each side. If using sesame seeds fry sesame seed side down first so seeds adhere to tuna. (or until cooked to how you like them).
7. Mix together the mayonnaise and wasabi paste.
8. Serve the tuna with some of the wasabi mayonnaise and place some pickled ginger on top.
Very yummy with plain, boiled rice and stir-fried chinese greens. I served mine over mixed stir-fried vegetables.

This was a wonderful recipe I really enjoyed this, I love tuna and I love wasabi so put the two together and it is always going to be a winner with me. I served this with spinach topped with a sesame sauce and it was the perfect accompaniment, I also served the sauce on the side as a dipping sauce rather than to pour it over the tuna steaks itself.

Ingredients
2 Teaspoons toasted sesame seed
2 Teaspoons wasabi powder
2 Teaspoons ground pepper
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt
4(6 ounce) tuna steaks
1 Tablespoon wasabi powder (I used more but this is just personal preference)
1 Tablespoon water
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
1/4 Cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2 Tablespoons sliced scallion
Method
All the spice ingredients can be adjusted for the size of the tuna steaks used. You will see from my photo just how big mine were so I needed more than this for 4 as this was only enough for 2.
1. Combine first 5 ingredients, rub over tuna, chill for 30 minutes.
2. Heat grill to high or pan fry.
3. Grill tuna approx 5 Min’s per side, to taste. I find 3-4 Min’s a side is perfect for medium rare which is the way I prefer my tuna.
4. Combine remaining ingredients by whisking together, serve alongside tuna. This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until needed.
