Servings: persons

36 ounces ahi tuna steaks, 1-inch thick (or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts)
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup green onion
2 tablespoons ginger, fresh grated
4 garlic cloves, pushed through garlic press
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I suggest low-sodium)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
1/4 cup cilantro
6 cups baby greens (optional) or 6 cups spring greens (optional)
3 cups wasabi mashed potatoes (optional)
cilantro (optional) or chives, for garnishing (optional)

1
Heat oven to 200 degrees.
2
Heat a skillet on your stove to medium high.
3
Grind a generous amount of pepper onto one side of tuna steaks (skip this if using chicken and see intro for instructions).
4
Add oil to the pan. When it's very hot, add the tuna steaks, pepper side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until seared but still rare in the center. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a plate, tented with foil, in a 200 degree oven.
5
In the medium-high pan where you seared the tuna (or chicken), add butter, onion, ginger and garlic. Sautee for a minute, just until the garlic becomes translucent (don't let it brown).
6
Add shiitakes and cook, without stirring, until they brown slightly. Add the soy sauce and cream. Let it cook until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the lime juice and cilantro.
7
Serve tuna, fish or chicken hot atop a bed of greens. Add wasabi mashed potatoes alongside. Top all with the sauce, and garnish with cilantro or chive sprigs.
