Ingredients:

  • 2 (6 oz / 170g) Ahi tuna steaks
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove (3g) garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) fresh ginger, grated

Instructions:

  1. Pat the tuna steaks completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
  3. Brush the marinade generously over all sides of the tuna, then season with salt and pepper. Let the tuna sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease the basket.
  5. Place the steaks in the basket, ensuring they are not touching, and cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  7. Remove the tuna when the internal temperature hits 115°F (46°C) for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest on a plate for 3 minutes to reach a final temperature of 125°F (52°C).
