- 1 teaspoon wasabi powder

- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, minced
For the Tuna:
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tuna steaks
- 1 tablespoon oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
For the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the wasabi powder and water to form a paste. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.

- In a separate cup, mix together the soy sauce, oil, and remaining wasabi powder to create a marinade.
- Brush the marinade generously onto both sides of each tuna steak, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Once the grill is ready, place the tuna steaks directly onto the grill grates.
- Grill the tuna for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired level of doneness is achieved. For rare tuna, aim for a slightly pink center.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the tuna steaks from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the grilled tuna into elegant pieces, ready to be served.
- Arrange the sliced tuna on a serving platter and drizzle with the prepared Wasabi sauce.
- Serve immediately, allowing your guests to enjoy the tantalizing flavors of this Japanese-inspired dish.
