TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
• Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
• Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
• Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
• Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
• Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
• Carefully place both steaks into oil.
• Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
• When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
• Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
• I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.
