| teriyaki marinated seared ahi tuna, wasabi mayo, pickled ginger, and arugula on a toasted sweet onion bun |
We seem to be on a burger kick lately, and since I normally limit my red meat intake to about twice a year (it's just not my body's favorite challenge), I wanted to join in on this bandwagon on my own terms. This "burger" is awesome. Get yourself some fine pieces of ahi and you will not regret the speed with which you wolf this creation down.
My little brother Spencer, came to Houston for Easter so we hit up Bernie's Burger Bus to introduce him to the food truck culture currently trending here in Houston and in most cool cities for that matter. Perhaps as a demonstration of his might, he ordered The Detention: two applewood smoked bacon grill cheeses used as the buns, two signature beef patties topped with Texas cheddar, and tipsy onions....and he ate the whole thing. Impressive, little brother, impressive.
Didn't exactly follow a recipe on this so here we go...
Marinate awesome quality ahi tuna steaks in Teriyaki sauce for about 3 hours. Spread each bun (I used sweet onion poppy seed buns) with butter and grill in your skillet. With one swig of olive oil on high heat, sear your tuna steaks and cook according to your preferred wellness (I like them rather raw myself). Mix wasabi paste with mayo (you will just have to taste this to get the proportions right). Spread wasabi mayo on toasted buns, top with seared tuna, pickled ginger and arugula. Share with someone you like!
