Air fryer sirloin steak is a delicious and simple dish to make. Here’s a recipe along with some notes to help you achieve a perfect result:
Ingredients:
- 2 sirloin steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Steaks: Pat dry the sirloin steaks with paper towels. This helps to ensure a good sear.
- Season the Steaks: Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season both sides generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Place in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Cook the Steaks: Cook the steaks in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness and the thickness of your steaks.
- Rest the Steaks: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy steak.
- Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes:
- Thickness of the Steaks: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your sirloin steaks. Thicker steaks may require a longer cooking time.
- Doneness: Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks for accuracy.
- Seasoning: Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the air fryer sirloin steak with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
- Cleaning: After cooking, remember to clean your air fryer basket and tray according to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain its longevity and performance.
