Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground coarse peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 (12-ounce) center-cut tuna loin
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 package Emeril's Asian Wasabi Salad Blend
  • 2 tablespoons torn fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons torn fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Salt and ground white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons diagonally sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange segments, skin and white pith removed
  • 1/3 cup toasted cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup crispy wonton strips, optional

Directions

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Mix together the ground peppercorns, coarse salt, and sugar. Pat the pepper mixture all over the tuna loin to form a crust on all sides. Place the seasoned tuna onto the preheated skillet and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove the tuna loin from the heat and cool completely. (Tuna should be nicely seared on the outside and rare on the inside.)

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, peanut oil, and cayenne. Remove the wasabi leaves from the salad blend (the large leaves in the top of the package) and finely chop or cut into thin strips. Place the remaining Asian Wasabi Salad Blend in a large bowl and toss with the wasabi leaves, chives, and parsley. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the leaves, tossing to coat. Season blend with salt and ground white pepper, as needed. Fold in the green onions and orange segments.

Arrange salad on individual plates or a serving platter. Cut tuna into slices and fan out on top of salad. Top with cashews and wonton strips if desired.

    WAY WAY TOO SALTY!! My husband and I couldn't finish our dinner cause the amount of salt was overpowering. I had huge tuna steaks from Costco and cooking 5 min on each side would have made them like rubber! Way overdone; I cooked them just a couple minutes each side.

    Great! Everyone at my dinner party loved it - not just liked it! I doubled the amounts of sugar,soy sauce,honey and orange pieces. I mixed the dry ingrediants in the 1st paragraph before heating the pan. I mixed the the wet ingredients & cayenne in 2nd par. next to let flavors meld. I couldn't find Emeril's salad blend, so I used butter lettuce instead.(I really want to find his package. I wish he had a list of stores in different cities to find his itemsI also served lots of pickled ginger and candied ginger - Absolutely one of our favorite recipes. We will make it for company often.
