Why I love Steak Cooked in the Air Fryer:
Convenient– The Air Fryer makes it easy to cook a juicy steak anytime of year and in any location. Fast – From start to finish, in less than 20 minutes, with a crisp outside and juicy center. Check out my air fryer tips and tricks to get the most out of your air fryer. Garlic Herb Butter – Only three ingredients and takes just seconds to whip up. It adds such great flavor and will take your steak to the next level!
How to cook Steak in Air Fryer:
Prep Steaks: Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, to bring them to room temperature. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Make Herb Butter: Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Grease the air fryer basket and add steaks. (Cook steaks one at a time if they fit too closely together). Air Fry for 4 minutes, then flip, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for best results: 130-135 degrees F for medium rare, 135-140 for medium. Rest: Remove easy air fryer steaks to a plate and cover with foil to rest, for 5-10 minutes. Add a spoonful of herb butter on top of each warm steak, before serving. Storing Instructions: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. I enjoy the leftovers cold on a salad, or you can rewarm in the air fryer just until warm and serve in tacos! If you are interested, check out all of my high protein recipes!
