Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 New York Strip Steaks (6–8 ounces each)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (you may not use all of the oil)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring Steaks to Room Temperature: Remove the steaks from your refrigerator and take off the store packaging. Place them on a plate or cutting board and let them sit for approximately 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
- Season the Steaks: Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Feel free to add additional seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika for enhanced flavor.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place each steak inside the air fryer basket with about ¼ to ½ inch space between them to allow proper air circulation. Avoid stacking or overlapping steaks to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Steaks: Cook the steaks at 400°F for 10-12 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking process to promote even browning. Adjust time based on thickness and preferred doneness; thicker steaks may require longer cooking.
- Rest Before Serving: Once the steaks reach your desired doneness, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a cutting board or cookie sheet. Allow the steaks to rest for 5-10 minutes to let the juices redistribute, resulting in a tender, juicy steak.
Notes
- Letting the steaks come to room temperature before cooking helps them cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; proper air circulation is crucial for an even cook.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness if desired: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Resting the steak after cooking is essential to keep it juicy.
- Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer model and steak thickness.
