How to Make Albacore Tuna With Jalapeno Bacon Cream Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2-4 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place 4 whole jalapeños on the grill alongside the tuna.
  6. Grill jalapeños, turning occasionally, until the skin is slightly charred, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. Remove grilled jalapeños from grill and set aside until serving.
  8. Season albacore tuna fillets (about 4, 6 oz each) lightly with salt and pepper.
  9. Drizzle 1 tablespoon melted butter over each fillet and spread to coat.
  10. Place fillets on the preheated grill.
  11. Grill tuna to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 135-140°F for medium-rare), about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plates.
  12. Spoon the jalapeno cream sauce generously over the tuna. Garnish with 4 slices of cooked crispy bacon and the grilled jalapeños.
