0Ingredients
1 Tbsp + 2 tsp vegetable oil, plus some for the grill (divide)
2 tsp rice vinegar or cider vinegar
2 tsp honey
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp wasabi paste
1/2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups thinly shredded red cabbage
1/3 cup grated carrot
1 small green onion, very thinly sliced
1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds (see Note)
2 (about 170 gram each) pieces ahi tuna loin steak, thawed if frozen
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 hamburger, kaiser or calabrese buns, split and warmed
mayonnaise, to taste
2 leaf or other lettuce leaves
Directions
- To make slaw, combine 1 Tbsp of the oil, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger in a medium bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, green onion and sesame seeds and toss to combine. Cover slaw and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat a barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high heat. Pat tuna steaks dry with paper towel. Now brush each tuna steak with 1 tsp oil. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the bars of the grill, and then grill the tuna 60 to 90 seconds per side, or until still rare in the middle (see Options).
- Spread cut sides of each bun with mayonnaise. Set a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun and then top with a tuna steak. Top each tuna steak with some of the slaw, and then set on the top buns. Serve any leftover slaw alongside the tuna burgers.
Note: Jars of roasted sesame seeds are sold in our Asian foods aisle.
Options: If you prefer you tuna entirely cooked thoroughly, cook it 30 to 60 seconds longer on each side.
