Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the spices in a small bowl.
  2. Spray the steak with olive oil and coat both sides with the spices.
  3. Preheat the air fryer so the basket gets hot. For a 1-inch steak, air fry 400F 10 minutes turning halfway, for medium rare, for medium, cook 12 minutes, flipping halfway. See temp chart below, time may vary slightly with different air fryer models, and the thickness of the steaks.
  4. Finish with a pinch of more salt and black pepper.
  5. Let it rest, tented with foil 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • How long do steaks take in the air fryer?
  • Use a meat probe to test your steaks and take them out five degrees before your desired doneness, as the meat temp will increase as it rests.
