Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay
Show: Boy Meets Grill
Episode: Burgers Cuban Style
3 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 pounds fresh tuna steaks, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper puree
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 rolls
Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons mustard, remove from the heat, and add the lime juice and white pepper. Let cool.


Combine the tuna, 2 tablespoons Dijon, chipotle pepper puree, honey, oil, and green onions in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Shape the ground tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2-inches thick.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes; the burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking. Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness, basting often with the glaze. Serve.

Tell that to the poor chef that came up with the recipe.

I think he just did. Surely ‘ol Bobby can read. LOL!!
Other than cooking perfectly good sushi, and dicing up a perfectly good steak, the recipe looks great Nick!
I had a Caribbean Turkey burger tonight for dinner. Other than the fact that they ruined a perfectly good cannonball, it was awesome!
cannonball link: just add www in place of the ###.

I’m sorry, but “poor” tuna has feelings too.

Hey guys - The tuna burgers were delicious and if you check out the recipe link, you’ll see there’s a green chile relish recipe that we didn’t cook this time around.
And for those concerned about the “poor” tuna steak - well, for once this wasn’t my cooking. Laura was cooking away when I got home yesterday and had already chopped up one of the tuna steaks. I did manage to save the other one from sudden death, which is now destined to be done ahi style tomorrow night.
Nice job on the stea…..ahem, burgers Laura!
Hey, is that a George Foreman grill? I got one of the new G5’s for Christmas and I may have to try this out on it soon. I’ve been cooking everything on it since I got it! LOL!! I’ve even made biscuits.
Love the Bubba burgers though. Straight from the freezer to the grill, hamburgers in less than 10 minutes!

DK - It’s a Breville Gourmet Grill - sort of like a George Foreman, but it’s set up so that it can be opened up and laid flat, so it can be used as a press or a grill. Frankly, I’d rather have a GF - smaller and easier to clean, but this was the only grill we had while in NYC, so it’s stuck around.
Cool, that’s the only thing I wish the G5 did, was open all the way up. The G5 is a lot bigger than the old regular Foreman that I had, and the removable grill plates are very cool.
What n the heck are you guys talking about?
I use a simple gas top stove from the early 80’s thats still the original harvest gold color, and I use a big flat iron skillet that my ma gave me before we put her in the old folks home. Works like a champ at grill’n everything from sunnyside up eggs, to tuna steak thats been marinating in store brand (piggly wiggly) italian dressing for at least 2 hrs. The best part is that the skillet doesn’t require cleaning!!! Wipe it with a damp cloth, and viloa! Ready for the next meal.
viloa!
You got one of them fancy Hawaiian flute thingys too TC? ![]()
