This is a wonderful recipe that is so quick and easy to prepare and is great either on the grill, if it is BBQ weather or just done in the frying pan as I cooked it the other night. Depending on how you like your tuna cooked it is on the table in about 15-20 Min’s. I like my tuna pink in the middle as tuna should be undercooked, otherwise it gets quite tough.
Ingredients
2 Teaspoons sea salt
2 Teaspoons Sichuan (szechuan)
pepper
60-80ml olive oil (depending on the size of your steaks Mine were huge)
4 Tuna steaks
1/2 Cup mayonnaise
2 Teaspoons wasabi powder (mixed with a small amount of water to form a paste)
1 Tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 Teaspoon lemon juice
Method
1. Using mortar and pestle or pepper grinder, grind salt and pepper until fine.
2. Combine pepper mixture with oil and fish in a large bowl cover stand 5 Min’s.
3. Meanwhile combine mayonnaise, wasabi, coriander and juice in a bowl.
4. Heat a large frying pan, add fish, cook about 2-3 Min’s aside, for pink centre, or until cooked as desired, or BBQ steaks.
Serve tuna with wasabi mayonnaise. I served mine atop Japanese style vegetables.
