Wasabi Encrusted Tuna Steaks

Ingredients

Gather up the following ingredients to whip up this flavorful masterpiece:

  • 2 fresh tuna steaks
  • 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (Panko works best!)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your wasabi encrusted tuna steaks:

  1. Start off by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the wasabi paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade, making sure they’re coated on all sides. Let them soak in that flavor for about 15-20 minutes.
  4. While the tuna is marinating, prepare a tray with the bread crumbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix it up. If you’re using sesame seeds, toss those in too!
  5. Once the tuna is ready, take it out of the marinade and dredge each steak in the bread crumb mixture until they’re well coated.
  6. Place the coated tuna steaks on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more cooked.
  7. When done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps retain all those delicious juices!
  8. Top with chopped green onions if you like, and serve them up with sides of your choice. Enjoy!
