YELLOWFIN TUNA BURGERS WITH GINGER-MUSTARD GLAZE



Yellowfin Tuna Burgers with Ginger-Mustard Glaze image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 1/2 pounds yellowfin tuna, free of any skin or gristle
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 fresh hamburger buns with seeds
1/4 cup Japanese pickled ginger, available in Japanese specialty shops (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all the ginger-mustard glaze ingredients in a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the glaze coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain through a sieve and reserve in a warm place until tuna burgers are cooked. Can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Grind the tuna in a meat grinder or chop with a large sharp knife, to the texture of hamburger meat. Do not use a food processor, which will shred the tuna rather than chop it. Transfer the ground tuna to a bowl and combine with the garlic, mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Divide the tuna into 4 equal portions. Using your hands, roll each part into a smooth ball and then flatten into a compact patty. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tuna burgers until browned and medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Serve each burger on a buttered toasted bun and spread with a tablespoon of warm glaze. Garnish the burgers with equal amounts of pickled ginger slices.

GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • To prevent the tuna from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with olive oil before cooking.
  • Cook the tuna over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • While the tuna is cooking, make the apricot-mustard-mint glaze. Simply combine apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, and chopped mint in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Once the tuna is cooked, brush it with the apricot-mustard-mint glaze and serve immediately.
  • Garnish the grilled tuna with additional chopped mint and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily prepared in under 30 minutes. The apricot-mustard-mint glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the tuna, while the mint provides a refreshing contrast. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight meal.
