TUNA TERIYAKI WITH WASABI BUTTER 

4 5- to 6-ounce tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick
1/4 cup purchased teriyaki marinade
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons wasabi powder (moisten with mirin) 
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon light olive oil 

Place tuna in shallow glass dish. Pour marinade over and turn to coat. Let tuna stand 10 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Mix butter, wasabi powder, and chives in small bowl.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove tuna from marinade; brush on both sides with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill fish, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Top with wasabi butter and serve. 
Makes 4 servings.
