Recipe by Donald Link A light, Mediterranean-inspired version of the classic diner sandwich, this tuna melt is built on layer of seared, sliced fresh tuna steak.

Ingredients

2 clove garlic
2 anchovy filets
1 lemon
1 tbsp. sherry vinegar
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

To make the vinaigrette: Smash garlic, anchovies, and lemon together with a pinch of salt. Add vinegar. Whisk in olive oil.
Make the tuna melt: Season both sides of tuna, onion, and fennel with salt, pepper, and ground fennel seed. Grill or sear tuna, onion, and fennel bulb for about 2 minutes on each side. Tuna should be cooked medium rare. Cut tuna into about 1/2-inch cubes, and cut the onion and fennel a little smaller. Place them in a bowl with chopped olives and jalapeños, and stir in vinaigrette.
Place 1 1/2 tablespoons provolone on each piece of bread (8 total). Then divide tuna mixture evenly on 4 pieces of bread and cover with another piece of cheese-topped bread. In a cast iron skillet over low to medium heat, drizzle oil and place sandwiches. Press them occasionally to make the sandwich adhere to itself. Drizzle liberal amounts of olive oil, and turn the sandwiches until both sides are evenly cooked.
Optional: garnish with a side of sliced tomatoes or whole olives. See all recipes and cooking videos from Chef Donald Link.
