1/3 cup teriyaki sauce1 tablespoon minced ginger2 teaspoons minced garlic1 tablespoon honey1 tablespoon Dijon mustard½ teaspoon Champagne or rice wine vinegar1 ½ pounds yellow-fin tuna (don’t spring for beauty here, end cuts are perfect!)1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic2 tablespoons Dijon mustard¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper1 teaspoon kosher salt½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted (or warmed pitas, yum!)¼ cup pickled sushi ginger, divided in 4
Preheat broiler, and lightly spray a baking sheet with PAM.
Combine all the teriyaki sauce through vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 8-9 minutes.
Strain and reserve. (Can be prepared up to two days ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
Grind or finely dice the tuna to the texture of hamburger meat. (Do not
use a food processor, which will shred the tuna rather than chop it).
Combine tuna with garlic, mustard, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Divide the tuna into four equal amounts.
Using your hands, roll each part into a smooth ball and flatten slightly.
Broil until browned and medium rare, about 2-3 minutes per side.
