Air Fryer New York Strip Steak

Print Recipe
This simple recipe teaches you how to air fry strip steaks to your desired internal temperature. Topped with a garlic and chive compound butter, they’re delicious and easy to clean up.

Ingredients

Scale

NY Strip Steaks

  • 2 pounds New York Strip Steaks (also called “strip steaks”), about 1” in thickness
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Chive Garlic Butter

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1/2 cup softened butter

Instructions

For the chive butter:

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients and store in the fridge until ready to use.

Air fryer strip steak:

  1. Right before cooking, brush the steak lightly on both sides with avocado oil. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Preheat the air fryer to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Place on the crisper plate and cook in the air fryer 9-10 minutes total for medium-rare, 11-12 minutes total for medium, 13 for medium well.
  2. Flip halfway through to get a sear on both sides. When you flip the steaks, add a small pat of the chive butter to the top of the steaks. When the steak has finished cooking, spoon any leftover juices over the top of the steak before transferring to a plate to allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing through.
  3. 10 minutes for medium rare – 130-135F internal temperature. 11-12 minutes for medium – 140-145F internal temperature. 13 minutes for medium well – about 150F internal temperature.

Dual Blaze air fryer instructions:

  1. Because this air fryer heats on the bottom as well as the top, it creates a great sear for steaks but also cooks quicker! Skip the step that has you oil the steak first and just season on both sides. Place the NY strip steaks directly into the air fryer basket without the crisper plate. Cook on the “steak” function for about 5 minutes before flipping, topping with the butter, and cooking another 3-4 minutes for medium.

Notes

  • There is a difference in cooking between air fryer/toaster oven combos and basket air fryers. Simple, basket air fryers will produce the best sear/results.
  • I plan for about 1/2 pound of steak per adult, but sometimes 1 very large strip steak can weigh 2 pounds and be thick! If it’s over 2 inches thick, I slice it in half to create about 1″ strip steaks. 
  • If your air fryer doesn’t reach 420 degrees F – Just cook them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit but increase the cooking time by 1 minute, so around 11 minutes for medium rare, 12-13 for medium, and, 13-14 minutes for medium well.
  • Butter will store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • Diamond kosher salt is recommended for steak seasoning. You can season every bit of steak without it being overly salty.
  • Nutritional information is calculated for 1/2 pound of the air fryer steaks without the butter.
