Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1-2 sirloin beef steaks 1 to 1½ inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes. If you don't have a preheat button, you simply run the air fryer for 5 minutes at the desired temperature.
  • Make sure that you take the steaks out of the fridge about half an hour before you cook them. Pat them dry with paper towels, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if using.
  • When the air fryer is preheated, put the steaks in the basket and air fry for about 7 minutes (see chart below for more times and temps), flipping halfway through cook time for medium rare doneness.
  • Once the steaks are cooked to your perfect doneness, transfer them to a plate and loosely cover them with foil. Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Top with a pat of garlic herb butter for the most delicious air fryer steak!

Notes

Storing

Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Steak can be gently reheated in the Air Fryer at a low temp (300°F/150°C), for just a few minutes so you don't risk overcooking it.
It can also be served cold on a steak salad or in a wrap.

Steak Doneness Chart

Keep in mind that all air fryers are different, and may cook at different rates. So you have to keep an eye on your steak, and keep checking with a kitchen thermometer to reach your preferred doneness. The times below are indicative.
  • For rare, remove at 6 minutes. The temperature will be 115°F and will rise to 120°F after resting.
  • For medium rare, remove at 7 minutes. The temperature will be 125°F and will rise to 130°F after resting.
  • For medium, remove at 8-9 minutes. The temperature will be 130°F and will rise to 135°F after resting.
  • For medium well, remove at 11 minutes. The temperature will be 135°F and will rise to 140°F after resting.
  • For well done, remove at 12-14 minutes. The temperature will be 145°F and will rise to 150°F after resting.
