Steps:

• Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
• Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
• Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
• Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
• Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.

Steps:

• Combine the white wine vinegar, white wine and shallots in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Strain out shallot and discard, return liquid to the pan.

When all of the butter has been incorporated, stir in cilantro, and remove from heat. Pour into a small bowl, and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush tuna steaks with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook, this fish should be served still a little pink in the center. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, coarsely grind peppercorns. Coat the tuna with the peppercorns, pressing them into the flesh of the fish. Add oil to a hot saute pan. Sear the tuna in the saute pan, for about 1 minute per side. Remove tuna from the pan and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce and orange juice and bring to a boil. Boil the soy sauce mixture until reduced by 70 percent and has achieved a syrup consistency. Cool. Whip the cream. Fold in the wasabi powder. Drizzle a little orange soy sauce onto each slice of tuna. Top with a little wasabi cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the five-spice powder, ginger, sake, rice vinegar, tamari, and sesame oil. Add the tuna steaks and turn to coat; allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Combine the crushed wasabi peas and brown sugar. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, and press into the pea mixture to coat. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, sear the tuna in a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to desired doneness. Pour sauce over tuna to serve.
