Air Fryer Sirloin Steak

  1. Cooking:
    • Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them for air circulation.
    • Cook the steaks for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness.
  2. Check for Doneness:
    • To check the doneness of the steaks, use an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature should reach:
      • 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare
      • 135°F (57°C) for medium
      • Adjust the cooking time if needed to achieve your desired level of doneness.
  3. Resting:
    • Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps redistribute the juices for a more tender result.
  4. Serve:
    • After resting, slice the steaks against the grain and serve them with your favorite side dishes.

Notes:

  • Thickness Matters: Thicker steaks will require more cooking time, while thinner steaks will cook faster. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the steaks in batches if necessary.
  • Oil: Using a small amount of oil helps with browning and enhances the flavor. However, excessive oil can cause smoke in the air fryer. Be mindful of the quantity.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and marinades to customize the flavor of your steak.
  • Monitor Carefully: Cooking times can vary based on the air fryer model and steak thickness. Keep an eye on the steaks to prevent overcooking.
