Author: 
Recipe type: Dinner
Serves: 2
 
Wasabi gives a hot horseradish edge to mayonnaise which pairs well with a seared tuna steak.
Ingredients
Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Wasabi powder mixed with ½ tsp of water into a paste
  • ¼ juice lime
  • tablespoon chopped coriander
  • ½ tsp tamari
  • tsp chopped chives
Salad
  • Handful rocket leaves, half a large cucumber, julienned, a few coriander leaves
  • A dressing made from olive oil / garlic infused olive oil, splash tamari, Himalayan salt, squeeze lemon juice.
  • tsp sesame seeds
Tuna
  • 2 tuna steaks
Instructions
  1. First make up the dressing, by combining all the above ingredients in a small bowl. Chill till ready to use.
  2. Next make up the salad component by mixing the leaves with the cucumber and tossing with the dressing. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
  3. Finally cook the tuna in a little coconut oil/ghee on a hot griddle pan for approx 2 mins on each side (less if you prefer it rarer I did manage to over cook mine). Leave the tuna to rest for a minute or so, then slice in half on the diagonal.
  4. Pile the salad on a plate, with the tuna on top, and finish with a blob of the hot mayonnaise and a pretty leaf of coriander.
