Air Fryer Steak
Air fryer steak comes out beautifully browned outside and juicy inside with almost no effort or smoke. The intense circulating heat sears the surface while keeping the center tender. It is a fast, foolproof way to cook a great steak indoors.

💡 Chef's tip
Let the steak rest 5 minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute and stay in the meat when you cut it.
Preheating the air fryer fully before adding the steak is what gives an immediate sear on contact, mimicking a hot pan without the splatter.
