Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pound sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
2 scallions, finely sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for cooking
4 seeded hamburger buns, split

4 grilled scallions, chopped

Categories     Sandwich     Fish     Garlic     Ginger     Leafy Green     Quick & Easy     Mayonnaise     Seafood     Tuna     Arugula     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2, can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 3/4-inch-thick tuna steaks (each about 5 to 6 ounces)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons regular or low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 oversize sesame-seed sandwich rolls, toasted
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed

Steps:

  • Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna to skillet and cook until brown outside and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer tuna to plate.

  • Spread bottoms of rolls with mayonnaise mixture. Top with tuna, arugula and tops of rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are firm, plump, and have a vibrant red color. Avoid steaks that are brown or have any signs of spoilage.
  • Pat the tuna steaks dry before cooking: This will help to prevent the burgers from becoming soggy.
  • Season the tuna steaks liberally: Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to give the burgers flavor.
  • Cook the tuna steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the burgers and keep the inside moist.
  • Do not overcook the tuna steaks: Tuna steaks should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers.

Conclusion:

Tuna steak burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed on a variety of occasions. Whether you are grilling them in the backyard or pan-frying them in the kitchen, tuna steak burgers are sure to be a hit.
