Steak cooked in the air fryer is quick, easy, and comes out perfectly juicy every time!

  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  3. Rub the steaks with olive oil and melted butter. Generously season on each side.
  4. Add the steaks to the air fryer basket and cook 8-12 minutes (flipping after 4 minutes) or until steaks reach desired doneness.

Notes

Air Fryers can vary, cook times are approximate. I highly suggest a meat thermometer (until you know your Air Fryer) to ensure steaks don’t overcook. If your steak is cold from the fridge, it will need more time.

Steaks that are a minimum of 3/4″ thick (or thicker) cook best in the air fryer

Cook times are for a 1″ steak, adjust times as needed for thinner or thicker steaks.

  • Medium Rare: Cook the steak 8-9 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.
  • Medium: Cook the steak 9-11 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.
  • Medium Well: Cook the steak 11-12 minutes flipping after 4 minutes.

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer so the air can circulate evenly around the steaks.

Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the basket while it rests.

Steak Butter is the restaurant secret to serving steaks! Top steaks with steak butter or mix 1/4 cup salted butter, 1 small clove garlic, minced, (or half of a large clove), 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, pinch of smoked paprika. Other fresh herbs are great in this butter too.
