How to Air Fry Tuna Steak
Schnelle Antwort
For tuna steak — tuna steak (1-inch thick) — well done — start with 390°F (200°C) for an estimated 10–13 minutes. Flip or turn at about 6 minutes. Cook fish to 145°F (63°C); shellfish should have pearly or white, opaque flesh. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.

Prep and Seasoning
Pat tuna steaks dry. Brush with sesame oil or olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally a crust of sesame seeds pressed onto both sides. Soy sauce and ginger make an excellent marinade for 15–30 minutes before cooking.
Temperature and Time
Place in the basket without overlapping. Use the tuna steak (1-inch thick) — well done preparation. Set the air fryer to 390°F (200°C); the starting range is 10–13 minutes. Turn or shake at about 6 minutes as appropriate for the food. Check at the lower end and continue as needed; thickness, load and the appliance affect the actual time. Cook fish to 145°F (63°C); shellfish should have pearly or white, opaque flesh.
The Case for Rare Tuna
At 145°F, tuna becomes dry and chalky. Use only sushi-grade tuna for this. Cook fish to 145°F (63°C); for shrimp, lobster and scallops, the flesh should be pearly or white and opaque. Do not rely on carryover heat.
Serving
Slice against the grain and serve over a salad Niçoise, with soy-ginger dipping sauce and edamame, or with wasabi and pickled ginger for a Japanese-inspired plate.
