Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 lb sushi-grade bluefin tuna, diced

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (toasted preferred)

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (lightly toasted)

  • 1 tsp soy sauce (low-sodium optional)

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

  • 3 scallions, sliced thin

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • Pinch of salt

  • 12 oz ground beef (80/20 blend)

  • 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (Kewpie recommended)

  • 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice level)

  • 2 brioche buns

Instructions

  1. Dice tuna into small, uniform chunks (~1/2 inch).

  2. In a bowl, mix sesame oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, scallions, garlic, rice vinegar, and salt.

  3. Add tuna to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

  1. Divide ground beef into two equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than your buns. Season both sides with salt.

  2. Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.

  1. Toast brioche buns on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.

  2. Combine mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl to make the sauce.

  1. Spread sriracha mayo on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty on top.

  2. Add a generous scoop of marinated poke over the patty. Layer avocado slices on top of the poke.

  3. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pair with sweet potato fries or a light cucumber salad for balance.

  • Keep poke cold until assembly to maintain freshness.

  • Adjust spice levels by modifying red pepper flakes and sriracha amounts.

  • Best enjoyed fresh due to raw fish components. Leftover poke can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat burger patties only—poke should always be served cold.

Enjoy this fusion of island flavors and comfort food—it’s like a mini Hawaiian getaway on your plate!
