I've pulled a few recipes off the internet to give this a try myself and each one has a little different twist. One thing I really liked about Bridge Creek's Tartare is that the tuna is served on top of a small bed of an Asian seasame seaweed salad and that made it sooo ono!! (I mixed the seaweed salad through out the tuna before I put it in the to go box)
Ingredients
3 3/4 pounds very fresh tuna steak
1 1/4 cups olive oil
5 limes, zest grated 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce 2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups minced scallions, white and green parts (12 scallions)
3 1/4 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
5 ripe Hass avocados
1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, optional
Directions
Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place it in a very large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, hot red pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour over the tuna, add the scallions and jalapeno, and mix well. Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut the avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture. Add the toasted sesame seeds, if using, and season to taste. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Serve on crackers.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons mustard oil
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yuzu kosho, red
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Seaweed Salad, recipe follows
Directions
Combine the mustard, vegetable, and extra-virgin olive oils in a cup with a pour spout. In a mixing bowl, combine the wasabi, lemon juice, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, yuzu kosho, and soy sauce, and whisk well. Slowly add the oils, whisking constantly to emulsify. Taste for seasoning, add salt, and set aside. Place tuna in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Add the shallots and chives, and toss gently to combine. Drizzle about half of the vinaigrette over the tuna, and mix well. Let the tartar sit for 2 minutes; taste for seasoning, and add more of the vinaigrette or salt, to taste. Leftover vinaigrette will keep, refrigerated, for 1 week. To serve: shape 1/6 of the tuna tartar into a disc and place it in the center of a serving plate. Arrange 3 dollops of seaweed salad around the disc.

Cut into thin strips, and place in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, and both oils. Pour the dressing over the wakame, add the chile peppers, and toss. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
