Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the tamari, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and black pepper. Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Reserve the marinade — do not reuse it as a sauce.

While the tuna marinates, make the wasabi butter: in a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, wasabi paste, tamari, and lime juice until smooth and evenly combined. Set aside at room temperature.
