1
Prepare the Wasabi Cream
In a bowl, mix the sour cream, wasabi paste, and lime juice until well combined. Adjust the wasabi to your taste and set aside.
2
Prepare the Tuna
Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3
Sear the Tuna
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the tuna steaks and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. The outside should be browned while the inside remains rare.
4
Serve
Remove the tuna from the skillet and slice into thin strips. Plate the tuna and drizzle with the wasabi cream. Serve with pickled ginger on the side.
