I found a really good price on Tuna steaks, $5.99 a pound! So I was looking for a new recipe to try. This was the most flavorful recipe I have found. The wasibi just added the right amount of kick. Thanks Leslie for sharing, I went out and bought more Tuna while it was on special so I could make it again!
