Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Compound Butter
- 4 tablespoons salted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place the 2 beef steaks on a wire rack to allow airflow above and below them. Season both sides evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Let rest at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390-400°F (199-204°C).
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, depending on steak thickness and desired doneness.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer:
- While the steaks cook, prepare the compound butter. In a small bowl, mix softened 4 tablespoons salted butter, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Once steaks reach the desired doneness, remove from the air fryer and let rest for 10 minutes. Top with compound butter while resting.
