  3. 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.

  5. 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.

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.

Depending on thickness of steak, cooking time will need to be adjusted by 3-4 minutes. If cooking thinner steaks adjust time 2-5 minutes less, then original cook time. Both ways will change internal temperature a couple of degrees. 
For best results, use a digital instant-read meat thermometer to reach precise internal temperature.
