Perfect Air Fryer Steak

Nothing beats a grilled steak but cooking steak in the air fryer comes pretty dang close. When you are looking for an easy way to cook steak the air fryer is the perfect.

I have never been a fan of the traditional deep fryer because it is unhealthy making fried food and it is so messy. I bought the air fryer because I wanted a healthy way to fry foods and have things not be so messy and the air fryer is perfect for doing so.

I have had my air fryer for a while (I have this one) but it kinda just sat there waiting for me to us it. I recently used it to make Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan that was a huge hit with everyone in my house.

I loved how easy it was to use and clean. I am now on the air fryer train and wanting to make lots of things in the air fryer.

What to Serve with Steak

There are lots low carb side dishes that pair well with steak. I like to stick with easy side dishes when we have steak as our main dish, it is the star of the meal and doesn’t need much to make it better.

How to Serve Steak

Serve steak as is, with a compound butter like we have included in this steak recipe or my kids favorite way, dipping it in sour cream.

Best Steaks for Air Frying

When you are making a steak in the air fryer you will want to use T-Bone steak, Porterhouse Steak, Ribeye, Filet Mignon, and New York Strip Steak for the best air fried steak. However the most important thing is making sure you are using thick cut steaks. I suggest a minimum thickness of 3/4 inch but an inch or more is the best thickness to use.

Air Fryer Steaks Cook time

When you are cooking steak in the air fryer it is important to check your user manual to check the setting specific to the appliance you are using, but this is a rough baseline for cook times.
