Ingredients
- 2 steaks (e.g., ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
- Bring the steaks to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil.
- Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, or your favorite steak seasoning blend.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
3. Cook the Steak
- Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overlapping for even cooking.
- Cook for 8 minutes on one side.
- Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 7 minutes for medium doneness (adjust the time for your desired level of doneness).
4. Check for Doneness
- Use a meat thermometer for accuracy:
- Rare: 125°F (52°C)
- Medium-Rare: 135°F (57°C)
- Medium: 145°F (63°C)
- Medium-Well: 155°F (68°C)
- Well-Done: 160°F (71°C)
5. Rest and Serve
- Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
