Sesame Tuna Steak Burger

Ingredients

Ingredients for at least 2 patties:

  • 3/4 lb raw tuna steak
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped mint (or more depending on your preference)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1.5 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • pinches of sea salt & pepper
  • My Burger:
    • 1 sprouted wheat bun
    • tomato slices
    • avocado slices
    • red onion slices
    • 1 teaspoon safflower mayonnaise
    • 1/2 oz goat cheese

Steps

Step 1

Set a grill to 350F.

Step 2

Chop the tuna steak into cubes and place all the ingredients for the patties into a food processor. Pulse blend until there is a consistent texture of ground tuna.

Step 3

Form patties of equal size, then place them in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes so they can become more firm.

Step 4

Place the patties on the grill and cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Look for the pink areas of the tuna to turn white; however, provided the tuna is fresh and good quality, you can leave some parts of the tuna pink (raw). Note: You can also cook the patties in a non-stick skillet on medium high heat if you do not want to (or cannot) cook them on a grill.

Step 5

Once the patties have finished cooking, serve and enjoy immediately.
