Description
Ingredients to Serve 4
As seen prepared by Chef Allen on the CBS "Early Show" segment featuring grilling tips for the summer.
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 Teaspoons Kosher salt
3/4 Teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground
2 Tablespoons green onion, chopped
1 ½ Pounds Sushi quality Tuna, diced fine
1/2 Teaspoon thyme
1 Teaspoon Soy sauce
2 Tablespoon olive oil
4 Tablespoons Chef Allen's mango ketchup
4 Brioche style burger rolls
Preparation
To Prepare the Burger:
On a clean cutting board, using the side of a French knife, work together the garlic, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper into smooth paste. In a small bowl, combine the tuna, thyme, garlic mixture, and soy sauce. Mix it well with a large spoon and shape into 4 burgers. Chill covered for at least ½ hour.
To Cook the Burger:
Preheat grill. Brush the burgers well with olive oil, season with remaining salt. Finding a very hot spot on the grill sear the burgers for 1 minute on each side for medium rare or until desired doneness.
To Serve:
Garnish each with Chef Allen's mango ketchup and Ratatouille slaw served on a toasted brioche bun.
