Step 1
Pat the 1 lb tuna steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear the tuna for 1 minute per side, until the outside is browned but the center remains rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Thinly slice the tuna against the grain and arrange on a plate. Drizzle with 3 tbsp soy sauce and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top.
Step 4
Garnish with 2 sliced scallions and 1 tsp wasabi paste. Serve immediately with extra soy sauce on the side if desired.
