The Perfect Air Fryer Steak

Step 1

If you haven't already, first mix the seasoning spices in a small bowl and mix.If you don't have all the spices, you can use only salt & black pepper.

Step 2

Use paper towels to pat the steak dry before brushing it lightly with oil and sprinkling/rubbing the seasoning on both sides.

Step 3

Brush or spray some oil into the bottom of your air fryer basket, then add the filets in a single layer, with no overlapping (cook in batches if needed).

Step 4

Air fry the steak at 200°C/400°F to your desired done level (I like medium-rare or medium steak). The exact cooking time will depend on your desired outcome and the thickness of the steak. If your steak is 1 ½ inches thick, though, follow the below times or internal temperature:• Rare: 4-6 minutes,• Medium-rare steaks: 7-9 minutes. I cooked mine for 8 (135°F/57C),• Medium: 10-12 minutes (145°F/63°C),• Medium-well: 13-14 minutes (155°F/68°C),• Well done: 14-16 minutes (160°F/71°C),Flipping the steak halfway is important, too.If you use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, remove the steaks from the air fryer 5 degrees early, as the residual heat will continue to cook them during the resting period.

Step 5

Remove the meat from the air fryer, loosely tenting it with foil to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving/slicing (against the grain).
