Ingredients

6 6-ounce tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick

2 tablespoons peanut oil

3 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger

4 garlic cloves, chopped

8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced

6 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 cups whipping cream

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Lime wedges (optional)

Preheat oven to 200°F. Sprinkle 1 side of tuna steaks with pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Place tuna steaks, pepper side down, in hot oil and sear 2 minutes. Turn tuna over and continue cooking to desired doneness, about 2 minutes for rare. Transfer tuna to rimmed baking sheet; keep warm in oven.

Add whipping cream and simmer until sauce lightly coats back of spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Spoon sauce onto plates; arrange tuna atop sauce. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
