Time 2h5m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons adobo from a can of chipotle peppers
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced capers
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 teaspoons sherry or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger (grated on a rasp grater)
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 fresh or frozen tuna steaks, about 4 ounces each and 3/4 to 1 inch thick, at room temperature
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 brioche or potato rolls, split
Butter, for the rolls
1 clove garlic, peeled
Butter lettuce leaves, for topping
Pickled red onions, for topping
1/2 jalapeno, thinly sliced
Fried Shallots, recipe follows, for topping
6 to 8 medium shallots, very thinly sliced on a mandoline
Neutral oil, for frying
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the chipotle mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo, parsley, capers, shallots, vinegar, ginger and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the tuna: Preheat a large grill pan on high heat until very hot.
  • Drizzle both sides of each tuna steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks on each side for about 2 minutes for medium.
  • Meanwhile, toast the rolls, spread with a little butter and rub with the garlic.
  • Spread both sides of each roll with the chipotle mayo. Then layer on lettuce leaves, a tuna steak and some pickled red onions, jalapenos and Fried Shallots.
  • In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, add the shallots and enough oil to cover by at least 2 inches. Place the pot over medium-low heat and bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently so the shallot rings separate. Cook at a low simmer until most of the bubbles subside and the shallots are browned and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or sieve to remove the shallots, place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Let dry at least 1 hour. If the shallots are not completely crispy, dry in the oven at 200 degrees F for another 5 to 10 minutes.
