Tuna Burgers with a Wasabi Kick Recipe

Tuna Burgers with a Wasabi Kick Recipe

  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 teaspoons wasabi powder (look for this in the Asian section of most supermarkets)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tuna steaks, about 1½ pounds total
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted in a dry skillet over medium heat until light brown
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt-free Greek seasoning, like Cavenders®
  • 6 brioche rolls or hamburger buns
  • Pickled ginger
  1. In a small bowl, mix the water and wasabi powder together to form a paste. Stir in the sour cream, mustard, and sugar.
  2. Light a charcoal fire or preheat your gas grill on high. Oil the grill’s cooking surface. Let the coals bum down to a medium-hot fire or adjust the gas grill burners to medium-high.
  3. 3, Meanwhile, cut the tuna into large chunks, place in a food processor, and pulse just until coarsely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the egg white, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. With moistened hands, form the mixture into 6 patties, about 1 inch thick. Brush both sides of each burger with the oil and sprinkle the Greek seasoning equally over the burgers.
  4. Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or to your desired degree of doneness.
  5. Serve on brioche rolls or buns with the wasabi sauce and pickled ginger.
