Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 For the black chile mayonnaise: If using a gas stove, turn one of the burners on high. Hold one of the chipotle chiles with a pair of tongs right over the flame and char it on all sides. It will puff up slightly, and then turn black. Set the chile aside, and repeat with the second chipotle chile, and the ancho chile. If you don't have gas stove, set a cast-iron skillet over high heat, and char the chiles on the skillet. When the chiles are cool to the touch, discard the stems and remove the seeds from the ancho. 2 Toss the chiles into a food processor and finely grind. Transfer to a bowl and pour in the 1 cup of oil. Stir well. Without cleaning the food processor, add in the egg yolks, garlic, lime juice, sugar, salt, and two tablespoons of water. Process until combined. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the chile oil in a steady stream. The mayonnaise should be thick and creamy. 3 For the steak sandwich: Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour the teaspoon of oil into a cast-iron skillet set over high heat. When just beginning to smoke, add the steak. Cook until well-browned on the bottom, about five minutes, and then flip. Cook until well-browned on that side, about another five minutes. Check its temperature with a meat thermometer; it should register about 140 degrees. If so, set aside and let rest for five minutes. (If it is below 140 degrees, cook for another minute or two on each side.) Then thinly slice the meat against the grain. 4 Scoop out some of the middle of each piece of ciabatta. Spread one tablespoon of the black chile mayonnaise on each top half. Divide the steak, cucumber, ginger, and cilantro between the four bottom halves. Drizzle each with lime juice, and season with salt. Place the top halves on each, mayonnaise side down. Serve.
