Tuna is perfect for pan-frying. It is important that the steak isn’t cooked all the way through but is crispy on the outside and raw on the inside. We show you how easy it is here:

  1. Prepare the tuna steak by rubbing the fish with herb butter and/or rolling it in crushed pepper. Professionals advise against salting the tuna before frying, as the salt otherwise deprives the fish of moisture and makes it dry. 
  2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the tuna steak on both sides until you get a brownish tint. Then fry the edges until crispy by placing the tuna steak upright in the pan. The entire cooking process takes at most two minutes.
  3. The finished dish will have a three-millimeter fried layer on the outside and the inner part will be pink and raw. 
  4. Before serving, you can salt the steak a bit to keep the outer shell crispy.
  5. Now enjoy - bon appetit!
