Ingredients

6 tablespoon reduces-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil

1 1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 12- to 14-ounce fresh tuna steal (about 1 inch thick)
2 bunches watercress, stems trimmed
1 bunch radishes, trimmed, sliced
Sesame seeds
