Serve with Thai Cucumber Salad
| 2 tsp | low-sodium soy sauce |
| 1 Tbsp | sake |
| 1 Tbsp | fresh lime juice |
| 2 Tbsp | honey |
| 1 tsp | wasabi paste |
| 2 | 4 ounce tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 inch thick) |
| 1/8 tsp | salt |
| fresh ground black pepper | |
| 1 tsp | dark sesame oil |
| 2 | green onions |
Mix the soy sauce, sake, lime juice, honey and wasabi paste together in a small bowl. Whisk until the wasabi is completely dissolved. This can be done a day in advance and refrigerated.
Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry. Sprinkle one side with the salt and then pepper liberally on that side.
Place the sake sauce in a small sauce pan and heat over low heat. Do not allow the sauce to boil.
Set the oven to warm and place serving plates inside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over high until very hot (almost smoking). Add the tuna steaks, seasoned side down. Cook over medium-high heat until well seared and turn. Rare tuna will take about 4 - 5 minutes per side.
Remove the plates from the oven and spoon about 4 tablespoons of the heated sauce into the bottom of each plate.
This dish is made to be served with Purple Sticky Rice, but any rice will do. When the tuna is done mound a serving of rice in the center of the plate on top of the sauce and place the tuna on top. Garnish by sprinkling the chopped scallions over the fish and serve.

"Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity."
Karl Marx, well known communist

Searing any meat, such as tuna, makes for a rich and luxurious dish and is a healthy cooking technique. Make sure that the pan is very hot and add the meat carefully so as to not splash any hot oil.
