We met some friends at the beach that recommended putting a steak in the air fryer for eight minutes and it was as good as grilled and faster too.
While shopping for some dinner the other night, Nick and I decided to have just a simple salad and baked potato. As I was passing the meat counter, I remember the steak idea my friends suggested and grabbed a nice little sirloin steak and placed it in the buggy.
I mentioned to Nick that I would like to try the air fryer trick and only purchased one steak to share. That way, if it was not good then we only wasted one steak. Besides, we were not in the mood for a big dinner anyway.
By golly it worked!
Set heat to 400 and let the air fryer heat up for 3 minutes then just throw the steak(s) in there and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping it once. No need to add any oil. Just add the spices you normally use with the grill.
I cooked mine for 10 minutes and it came out medium-well. It was nice and tender with lots of flavor, just like grilled.
