How to Prepare the Pineapple Glaze:

1. Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and brown sugar
in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half,
about 30 minutes.

3. Add the ketchup and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the heat
and add the lime juice and white pepper.

How to Prepare the Burgers:

1. Shape the tuna firmly into 4 round uniform patties about 1 1/2 inches
thick.

2. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (the burgers must be very cold
to hold their shape during cooking).

3. Brush both sides of the burgers lightly with the pineapple glaze and
season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium- high heat until just
smoking. Cook the burgers, basting often with the glaze, until cooked to
desired doneness, 3-4 minutes per side for rare.
