ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh tuna steaks
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 inches fresh minced gingerroot
- 3 tablespoons tamari dark soy sauce
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1⁄2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon light-in-color oil (such as canola, safflower or peanut oil)
- 1⁄2 lb shiitake mushroom, coarsely chopped
- coarse salt
- 4 sesame kaiser rolls, split
- 8 ounces mango chutney
- 4 leaves red leaf lettuce
- 8 ounces wasabi mustard (recommended ( Stonewall Kitchen brand, Asian sweet-hot mustard, available on the condiment aisle as)
- exotic root vegetable chips, to pass at table (recommended ( Terra brand) (optional)
- pickled ginger, plate garnish (optional)
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.

I currently live in Stuart, Florida which is a great place to live. I moved here from Orlando many years ago to live the life of a beach bum and have gotten quite good at it. I am actually a Yankee, but becoming more Southern by the day. During the past several years I found an absolute love for cooking. The man in my life loves to eat so we make a good match. I absolutely love Recipezaar and can no longer live without it. I think it is great that I can see what other people think of the recipes before I try them. I have some favorite chefs and reviewers on this site and I know when I try their recipes I can never lose ! My passions are my family, my fiance', my cat (Tasha), the beach, and now cooking. My pet peeve is anyone that abuses animals. AND THIS IS A BIG PET PEEVE ! I am currently a Paralegal but can't see myself doing this forever. If I did not work, I would probably spend my time cooking and taking care of the 50-animals that I would most likely adopt.
