How to Air Fry Steak:
-
Remove steaks from your refrigerator and place them on a plate or cutting board for approximately 30-60 minutes before cooking.
-
Once steaks have reached room temperature brush both sides of each piece of steak with light olive oil and season steaks with salt and ground pepper. At this point add any additional seasonings for extra flavor.
-
Place each steak in your air fryer basket, allow ¼ to ½ inch between steaks. This allows air to circulate and get the best cook on your steak.
-
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10-14 minutes, turning halfway through cooking process. Depending on your personal preference of steak doneness. For larger steaks or thicker steak, cooking times will vary.
-
When done air frying steak, remove basket from air fryer and place steaks on a cutting board or cookie sheet to let steak rest for 10-15 minutes prior to serving. This allows the meats juices to redistribute and steak to remain tender inside.
Optional: Top this perfect steak with a yummy steak sauce, air fryer garlic, an olive tapenade (chopped up olives and spices), flash fried basil leaves for crispiness, sautéed mushrooms, tangy blue cheese, crispy onion rings, chimichurri sauce or creamy avocado salsa.
Optional: Make a compound butter ahead of time and place a slice on top of hot steak to melt. Prepare garlic butter, Cajun butter for a little extra kick or homemade garlic herb butter with cilantro or parsley butter on stove top and use this melted butter to drizzle over steaks when ready to serve.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on the size and wattages cooking time may vary 1-2 minutes.
