  • Total Time: 15-20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

4 sirloin steaks (46 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure an even sear on the steak.

  • Prepare the steaks: Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Air fry the steaks: Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for:

    • Rare: 8 minutes

    • Medium-rare: 9-10 minutes

    • Medium: 10-11 minutes

    • Well-done: 12 minutes
      Flip halfway through the cooking time for even searing.

  • Rest the steaks: Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.

  • Serve: Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

Variations: Add minced garlic or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before cooking for extra flavor. Try a steak rub for deeper seasoning.

Compound butter: Top the cooked steak with garlic butter, herb butter, or blue cheese butter for added indulgence.
