Juicy Air Fryer Steak

Step 1

Drizzle the steak with soy sauce and liquid smoke.

Step 2

Season the steak with the spices. Rub the spices into the steak. If you wish to marinate, place the steaks in the fridge for an hour to overnight. This is optional.

Step 3

Place the steak in the air fryer. Do not stack. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 4

Cook for 5 minutes on 370 degrees. After 5 minutes, open the air fryer and examine your steak. Cook time will vary depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer and cook to 125° F for rare, 135° F for medium-rare, 145° F for medium, 155° F for medium-well, and 160° F for well done.

Step 5

Mine took 7-8 minutes total for medium doneness.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the air fryer and drizzle with optional melted butter.

Step 7

Allow the steak to rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing or consuming. If you slice into the steak too soon, that will cause that the inside moisture within the steak to spill out onto the plate, leaving a drier, less flavorful steak.
