Sesame Tuna Steak Burger

Tuna brings many health benefits such as losing weight, lowering your blood pressure, boosting your immune system, and keeping your heart healthy. That’s why we figured it was about time we put out another tasty tuna recipe for you to try out.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t think tuna steak burgers are that great, but we’re here to one-up those already-high expectations with the recipe to end all burger recipes.

To prepare your tuna burger, start by getting ¾ lb worth of your raw tuna steak of choice. Yellowfin is always my go-to since I prefer ahi tuna burgers over anything else. You’ll also need a tablespoon of freshly chopped mint and low sodium soy sauce for the tuna steak burgers.

Next, get a quarter cup of chopped green onion, a tablespoon and a half of roasted sesame seeds, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of sesame oil, half a teaspoon of lemon zest, and some sea salt and black pepper.

The final ingredients and condiments you need for this recipe are a sprouted wheat bun, a teaspoon of safflower mayonnaise, half an ounce of goat cheese, and slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado.

Now that you have everything ready to go, set your grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Chop up your tuna steak into more manageable cubes then put all the patty ingredients into a food processor. Pulse it on blend until you see a consistent texture in your ground tuna.

Use the mixture to form equally-sized patties. Put them in the refrigerator for around 15 minutes to firm them up. Cook these patties on your grill for about seven minutes, depending on how they look.

Be sure to flip when halfway through so that both sides cook evenly. Keep an eye on the pink areas of your seared tuna and wait for them to turn white. Feel free to leave some of the pink spots raw if your tuna is of good quality and fresh.

There you go, a flavor-rich and nutrient-packed batch of the best tuna steak burgers you’ll ever taste! Until next time, don’t forget to stay healthy, fit foodies!
