Description

Cook a tender steak quickly using an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (1-inch thick) steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the olive oil over both sides of the steak.
  3. Mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  5. Place the seasoned steak in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket.
  6. Air fry for 8 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F to 135°F). Adjust time for desired doneness (add 2-3 minutes for medium, 4-5 minutes for medium-well).
  7. Flip the steak halfway through the cooking time.
  8. Remove the steak from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For thicker steaks (over 1.5 inches), you may need to reduce the temperature slightly to 380°F (195°C) to prevent the outside from burning before the inside cooks.
  • Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
