Tuna "London Broil" with Wasabi Cream

Like wasabi? Then this is for you!  This recipe includes dry wasabi powder (found in the Asian dry goods section of your supermarket) both in the rub and in the cream.  Be careful when putting sauce on your plate, this can give you that horseradish nose burning sensation very quickly! Otherwise it is a great way for us to enjoy some fish.  If you are using a charcoal grill make sure to check for doneness--ours takes a little less than the recommended time.

We served it with steamed broccoli lightly tossed with Wegman's Sesame Ginger salad dressing.  

No other changes were made to this recipe, but it is easy to cut in half if you just want to make it for two.

I hope you enjoy this in your home as much as we do in ours!
