Ahi Burger Recipe

Pat tuna steaks dry and season with salt and pepper.

Brush tuna lightly with oil. Preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan over high heat.

Whisk together the ginger-wasabi mayo: mayonnaise, grated ginger, wasabi paste, rice vinegar, and lime juice until smooth. Chill if time allows.

In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, carrot, red pepper, and cilantro.

In a small bowl, whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and salt. Drizzle over slaw and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning.

Toast egg buns, cut side down, until golden.

Sear the tuna: place in hot pan and sear about 1-2 minutes per side for rare center. Remove from heat and let rest briefly.

Spread ginger-wasabi mayo on the bottom bun.

Place a tuna steak on each bottom half, then top with Asian slaw.

Garnish with cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Add lime wedges on the side.

Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
