ASIAN TUNA WITH WASABI AIOLI

Wasabi, also called Japanese horseradish, has a sharp, pungent, fiery flavor. It comes in both a powder and paste form and is available in the Asian-foods aisle of large supermarkets. If you can't find it, use regular prepared horseradish instead.
Prep: 10 min - Marinate: 2 hr - Broil: 15 min
8 Servings

Ingredients

Tuna
• 2 lb tuna steaks, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Wasabi Aioli
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 1 teaspoon wasabi powder or prepared horseradish

Garnish
• 2 teaspoons sesame seed, toasted if desired
 

Directions

1. If tuna steaks are large, cut into 8 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable plastic food-storage bag, mix vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gingerroot and garlic. Add tuna; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning once, at least 2 hours but no longer than 4 hours.

2. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix aioli ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

3. Set oven control to broil. Remove tuna from marinade; reserve marinade. Place tuna on rack in broiler pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 10 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 to 3 times with marinade and turning once, until tuna flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade. Sprinkle sesame seed over tuna. Serve with aioli.
