This Air Fryer Steak recipe offers a quick and easy way to cook juicy and flavorful sirloin steaks with minimal effort. Using an air fryer ensures a perfectly cooked steak with a crispy exterior and tender interior, making it an ideal meal for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 3 Sirloin Steaks (approximately 1 inch thick)
  • 1 Tbsp Steak Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Optional

  • Garlic Butter for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring to Room Temperature: Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes prior to cooking. This step ensures even cooking throughout the steak.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. If your air fryer lacks a preheat option, simply run it for 5 minutes at 400°F to warm up the cooking chamber.
  3. Prepare Steaks: Use a basting brush to coat the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Rub olive oil on both sides of each steak, then sprinkle steak seasoning evenly over both sides.
  4. Arrange Steaks: Place the steaks in a single layer at the bottom of the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook First Side: Cook the steaks at 400°F for 4 minutes, allowing the exterior to sear and develop flavor.
  6. Flip and Continue Cooking: Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 4 minutes at 400°F to ensure even cooking.
  7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 125°F-130°F for rare, 135°F-140°F for medium-rare, 145°F-150°F for medium to medium-well, and 160°F for well done.
  8. Adjust Cooking Time: If necessary, cook the steaks longer in the air fryer until they reach your preferred doneness.
  9. Rest the Steak: Remove the steaks from the air fryer and transfer them to a plate. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes; this helps the juices redistribute for a juicier steak.
  10. Serve: Serve the steaks with a dollop of garlic butter or your favorite sauce, and enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer steak.

Notes

  • Resting the steak is crucial to retain juices and avoid dryness.
  • Steak thickness and air fryer model may require slight adjustments in cooking time.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure precision when checking doneness.
  • Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to prevent overcrowding, which affects cooking quality.
