new fave! easy and tasty! I season my tuna with a dry rice seasoning first. The rice seasoning has sesame seeds, seawee, wasabi and some other stuff. Easily found at most asian markets. Comes out great!

This recipe was amazing! I bought my Ahi Tuna steaks at Costco. The only change I made to the recipe was to use less butter.

Butter always works and in this case there's a LOT of butter... leading to a lot of love! I half the butter and still make a fantastic sauce. I've also used 1/2 and 1/2 butter substitutes with almost (95%) equally good results.

The sauce is amazing! Definitely a labor of love since it's time consuming to reduce the wine mixture and then emulsify all the butter, but the end result is worth it served over a high-quality piece of medium-rare seared tuna.

Amazing recipe, this sauce is also great on veggies and steak! I always cut the butter in half and add at least a full tube of prepared wasabi. We use a sashimi grade tuna, allowed to come to room temp, then toss on the grill for about a minute or so per side and serve with couscous and lightly sautéed asparagus.

This recipe was pretty bland. Not much taste at all other than the butter in the sauce. I will not be making this one again.

Based on the reviews I decided to try this but, in my opinion, a butter sauce does not go with seared tuna. The sauce was much too rich, and it was bland. I'm going to stick to my simple soy, ginger, wasabi, scallion dipping sauce.

This recipe is a WOW! I agree with others that a thicker sauce is preferrable. The tuna was enhanced by the amazing flavors of the sauce. My wife said to only put it on the tuna, as I had added it to the green beans. Wish I had rice pilaf to add to this mix. Next time. I followed a few of the reviewers suggestions religiously and it worked well. We have friends from the UK staying with us next Sunday and they love this type of meal. I cannot wait to make this again and again. Darla, the chef presenter, we give you hugs for presenting this recipe. We love you.
