• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon powdered wasabi, or more if desired
• 3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Fresh Ginger, grated, for garnish

4. On a plate, spread black pepper.
5. Press one side of the tuna steak onto the black pepper.
6. Repeat with the other steak.
7. Place a cast iron skillet over high heat.
8. Add oil, and when smoking, place the tuna into the pan, pepper side down.
9. Cook for approximately one to two minutes on each side.
10. As the tuna cooks, the red meat will become whiter.
11. Once you have cooked both sides, the tuna will be almost raw in the middle, thus seared.

13. Drizzle the wasabi sauce around on top of the tuna.
14. Lightly sprinkle with finely grated ginger.
15. Serve immediately
