1- 1/2 pound Fresh Ahi Tuna Steaks, Sushi Grade
1/2 cups Plain Bread Crumbs
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Ginger
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 whole Scallions, Chopped

1
Preheat a nonstick griddle or a grill pan to high heat.
2
Cube tuna into bite-sized pieces and roughly chop OR cube then place in a food processor.
3
(I bought 3 good-sized tuna steaks and chopped them small enough that I didnt need the food processor step.)
4
Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the tuna; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey.
5
Transfer tuna to a bowl.
6
In the bowl, combine ground tuna with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, bread crumbs, scallions, red bell pepper, sesame oil, salt and black pepper.
7
Mix with your hands.
8
Form 4 large patties, 1 1/2 inches thick.
9
Drizzle pan with sesame oil, about 2 tablespoons.
10
Cook tuna burgers for 3 minutes on each side for rare, up to 6 minutes each side for well done.
11
Assemble your tuna burgers with the soft rolls, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and wasabi sauce.
12
I served this with Asian Salad in a bag and also with baked sweet potato fries (cut into French fry size, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, mix to combine, then bake at 400 degrees, turning once, until finished, approximately 20 minutes).
