Air Fryer Steak
Make perfect Air Fryer Steak that is seared on the outside and juicy on the inside. Air frying steak is quick and easy with no splatter or mess in the kitchen!
Equipment
- Air Fryer (I own and love this one from GoWise!)
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sirloin steaks (1 inch thick (1 1/2 lbs total))
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Combine the spices in a small bowl.
- Spray the steak with olive oil and coat both sides with the spices.
- 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.
- Finish with a pinch of more salt and black pepper.
- Let it rest, tented with foil 5 minutes before slicing.
