Method

Prep 15 min · cook 15 min
  1. Mix the panko and sesame seeds on a plate. Season the tuna and press both sides into the crumbs.
  2. Mist a large pan with oil over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 2–3 minutes a side, misting the tops before flipping, until the edges are opaque; rest on a board.
  3. Stir the soy sauce and wasabi together.
  4. Simmer the shallots and wine in a small pan over medium-low heat until reduced by half, 2–3 minutes; whisk in the milk until the sauce comes together, about a minute.
  5. Off the heat, whisk in the wasabi-soy and then the butter.
  6. Divide the greens among bowls, top with the sliced tuna and drizzle with the sauce.
  7. Best eaten fresh. Seared tuna keeps 1 day in the fridge; serve it cold rather than reheating.
