4 pieces of the best or sashimi grade yellowfin tuna (yellowfin tuna)
salt and pepper
Sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 dl Japanese soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 chilli
1 single clove garlic
2 tbsp cane sugar
A piece of ginger
Juice of two limes
1 dl water
Watercress salad
2 pts watercress
150 g cherry tomatoes
Spoonful of olive oil
Spoonful of dark balsamic vinegar
Wasabi mayonnaise
1dl Japanese kewpie mayonnaise (any other unflavoured mayonnaise will do)
wasabi to your taste
Start by heating up a paella pan in the Mustang Sapphire. Split the chilli and remove the seeds, peel the garlic and ginger and slice. Freeze them for a while over medium heat in a frying pan, then add the soy, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, cane sugar and water. Cook over a low heat until it comes together slightly and set the pan aside to cool to refrigerator temperature.
Prepare the mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise, desired amount of wasabi and season with salt.
Tear the rinsed watercress, slice the cherry tomatoes and place these in the salad bowl. Add a splash of olive oil and a splash of dark balsamic in a 1/1 ratio and toss the salad a few times to combine. Put in the fridge to wait.
Pat the surfaces of the tuna dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Now heat the grill to about 250 degrees and grill the fish for about a minute on each side over a direct fire. Remove the tuna to the paella pan and place in the cooled broth. Allow to marinate at refrigerator temperature for about 15-20 minutes, turning or spooning the sauce over the tuna from time to time. You can also leave the tuna in the broth and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the tuna into slices of about 2-4 mm across. Lift the watercress salad onto a plate and fold the tuna slices neatly into radii, centre to edge. Squeeze wasabi mayonnaise onto the plate and spoon the sauce over the tuna slices.
