Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- Two 6-ounce tuna steaks
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- Two tablespoons of soy Sauce
- One tablespoon of honey
- Two minced garlic cloves
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- A sprinkle of salt and pepper
Equipment: Air Fryer
The olive oil, honey, and lemon juice come together to make a delightful sauce that adds a sparkling zing to the succulent tuna steaks. The garlic cloves with the soy sauce bring a savory, umami flavor that melds so beautifully with the fish you’ll think it’s a match made in heaven.
If you are not a fan of honey and want an alternative, maple syrup or brown sugar works too. And for my vegan peeps, swap the honey with agave nectar.
How To Make Air Fryer Tuna Steak Made With The Most Flavorful Sauce
- Start by mixing the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and garlic in a bowl. Mix this well until everything is all combined.
- Marinate the tuna steaks in this fabulous concoction for about 20 minutes. Make sure to flip the steaks halfway through.
- Place these marinated beauties in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. This will give you a nice medium-rare steak. Cook longer if you prefer your steak a bit more done.
- Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. And there, we have our magical dish all ready to serve!
Tips For The Best Results
- Some like it hot. If you want to add some kick to your dish, a sprinkle of chili flakes will get the job done.
- Don’t skip the marinade. The longer the tuna steaks stay in it, the more flavor they absorb.
Storage Tips
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. It’ll stay good in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
- Not a fan of cold tuna? Heat in the microwave or on a non-stick pan before serving.
