Air Fryer Steak

Steps

1. 1Start by ensuring your steaks are at room temperature. This allows for more even cooking. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously.
2. 2Let the steaks sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3. 3To prevent the steaks from sticking to the air fryer basket, lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray. This will also aid in achieving a crispy crust.
4. 4Place the seasoned steaks in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. It’s important to leave enough space between the steaks for proper airflow and even cooking.
5. 5Cook the steaks at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes for medium rare, flipping them halfway through the cooking process. For a more well-done steak, increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
6. 6Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
7. 7Slice the steaks against the grain to maximize tenderness and serve while they’re still hot.
