Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fresh tuna steak
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 inches fresh ginger root, minced or grated
3 tablespoons tamari dark soy sauce
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil -- eyeball the amount
2 teaspoons grill seasoning blend (recommened: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick) or 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt -- eyeball it
1 tablespoon light-in-color oil, such as canola, safflower or peanut oil
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt
4 sesame kaiser rolls, split
1 jar, 8 ounces, mango chutney
4 leaves red leaf lettuce
1 jar, 8 ounces, wasabi mustard (recommended: Stonewall Kitchen brand) -- Asian sweet-hot mustard, available on the condiment aisle as well as in Asian foods section of larger markets, may be substituted
Exotic root vegetable chips (recommended: Terra brand), to pass at table, optional
pickled ginger, optional plate garnish

Directions

Preheat a nonstick griddle or a grill pan to high heat.

Cube tuna into bite size pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the tuna; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey. Transfer tuna to a bowl. Combine ground tuna with garlic, ginger, dark soy sauce, scallions, red bell pepper, sesame oil, seasoning blend and black pepper. Form 4 large patties, 1 1/2 inches thick. Drizzle patties on both sides with light-in-color oil, such as canola, safflower or peanut oil.

Cook tuna burgers 3 minutes on each side for rare, up to 6 minutes each side for well done. Preheat broiler.

In a medium nonstick skillet over high heat, saute fresh shiitakes for 2 or 3 minutes in 1 tablespoon light oil -- 1 turn of the pan in a slow stream. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper.

Open up the rolls and lightly toast them under the broiler. Spread mango chutney on the bottom of each bun. Top with tuna burger, shiitakes, red leaf lettuce. Spread wasabi mustard or sweet hot mustard on bun tops and set them in place. Serve with exotic chips and pickled ginger, if desired.

Oh so yummy tuna burgers are the best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With just a few minor variations and you have the best tuna burgers ever. Substitue the tuna for an equal portion of chuck... roast, and replace the soy sauce with ketchup. Make sure that you print out enough copies of this recipe, because you guests are going to fall in love with these tuna burgers. Read more

Big Taste!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I ended up using a "blend" of tuna and snapper to cut down the cost a little bit and it seemed to work out just fine! The... flavours are rather powerful, but make for a very mouth watering burger. The mango chutney is a big must, you need it to cut the soy and ginger, but together they are totally mouth watering! I would definitely make them again without modification.Read more

Used this for Lettuce Bundles
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this with ground turkey and, instead of making burgers, sauteed all ingredients. Used the filling in WW pitas (for... kids) and in lettuce leaves (for adults). Excellent flavor, reminded me of PF Chang's lettuce wraps. Will definitely make again.Read more
