How to Simply Cook a Steak in an Air Fryer

Ingredients:

• 1 Ribeye, New York, Sirloin, or Tri-Tip steak (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons garlic herb butter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bring to Room Temperature: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. Pat Dry: Use a paper towel to pat the steak dry, removing any excess moisture.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
4. Prepare the Steak: Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Times will vary based on thickness and wellness desired.
6. Rest the Steak: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute, making the steak more tender and flavorful.
7. Optional: Top the steak with garlic herb butter for an extra burst of flavor.
