For these grilled tuna steaks with wasabi-blueberry sauce, wasabi and soy sauce add heat and umami to a fresh-cooked blueberry sauce drizzled over tuna. When cooking fish to rare or medium-rare, always use sushi-grade to reduce risk of foodborne illness.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 shallot , minced
  • 1 , 6 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
  • 1.5 pounds sushi-grade tuna steaks
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon furikake seasoning , or more as needed
  • cooked rice , for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    For sauce, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add blueberries, honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until most of blueberries have burst, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Set bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Stir in wasabi paste.

  2. 2

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C)). Pat tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Spread furikake seasoning on a small plate. Roll edges of tuna steaks in furikake to coat.

  3. 3

    Oil grill grates. Grill tuna, covered, turning halfway through, about 4 minutes. (Tuna should be pink in center.) Transfer tuna to a cutting board; tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice tuna steaks and serve over rice with sauce. Garnish with cilantro.
