Ingredients
- 2 fresh tuna steaks (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)
- Mixed greens (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Aioli: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the wasabi level according to your spice preference. Set aside.
- Season the Tuna: Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Sear the Tuna: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more cooked center.
- Serve: Remove the tuna from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve drizzled with wasabi aioli. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve over mixed greens if desired.
