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.

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 ###.

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

😀 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.
You got one of them fancy Hawaiian flute thingys too TC? 😉
