Instructions

Optional: Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking it for the best result.

Season the steak with salt and pepper, then spray or brush with oil.
-
Put steak in the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 min for medium-rare, turning halfway through. The internal temperature should be 130 degrees F.

Notes
- Room Temperature: Letting the steak sit at room temperature before cooking makes sure that it cooks evenly
- Seasoning: You can use your favorite steak seasoning or keep it simple and use salt and pepper
- Preheating: Preheating the Air Fryer before adding the steak makes sure that the steak doesn’t stick to the basket and gives it the perfect sear
- Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the basket! The air needs to circulate for the best result
- Degree of doneness: I recommend using an Instant-read Thermometer to check if the steaks have reached your desired internal temperature, check out the cooking chart in this post. Stop the air fryer when the thermometer is 5 degrees F lower than the desired doneness, the temperature will continue to rise while resting
- Rest: Let the steak rest before you cut into it! Remove them from the basket and cover them loosely with aluminum foil
- Cutting: Cutting the steak against the grain makes it more tender.
- Thickness: I used 1-inch thick steaks for this recipe if your steaks are thinner reduce the cooking time, if they are thicker you might have to add 1 or 2 minutes
- Cooking time: Depending on your Air Fryer cooking times may vary. Always keep an eye on the food!
