-- Take 4 10oz Yellowfin Tuna steaks and evenly coat them with the crust and set aside.

-- Use 2 saute pans over medium high heat, add ¼ cup olive oil. Take the crusted tuna steaks and carefully place them in one of the pans (be careful as the seeds tend to "jump" out). Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside for a perfect medium rare.

-- In the other hot pan add olive oil to coat pan. Place the vegetable mixture in the pan and sauté until all veggies are slightly caramelized. Add 2 tbsp of Sherry and reduce, then add ½ cup of strained ginger sauce. Thicken with cold butter (about 3tbsp). Remove veggies from the pan and place on the bottom of the serving plate. Place the seared Tuna steak onto of the veggie mixture. Garnish with prepared wasabi and soy sauce.

Enjoy!
