Notes

  • Air Fryers can vary, cook times are approximate. I highly suggest a meat thermometer (until you know your Air Fryer) to ensure steaks don't overcook. If your steak is cold from the fridge, it will need more time.
  • Steaks that are a minimum of 3/4" thick (or thicker) cook best in the air fryer
  • Cook times are for a 1" steak, adjust times as needed for thinner or thicker steaks.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer so the air can circulate evenly around the steaks.
  • Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the basket while it rests.
  • Steak Butter is the restaurant secret to serving steaks! Top steaks with steak butter or mix 1/4 cup salted butter, 1 small clove garlic, minced, (or half of a large clove), 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, pinch of smoked paprika. Other fresh herbs are great in this butter too.
  • Medium Rare: Cook the steak 8-9 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.
  • Medium: Cook the steak 9-11 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.
  • Medium Well: Cook the steak 11-12 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.
