Yes, you can even cook steak in an air fryer! We found that thicker cuts, like sirloin, are best -- they turn nice and browned on the outside without overcooking. Plus, there's very little clean up. We added a homemade garlic-herb butter to melt over the steak for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner.

Tips:
- Choose the best steak cut: Ribeye, strip, and tenderloin steaks are well-suited for air frying.
- Season the steak generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Preheat your air fryer: This helps to ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
- Cook the steak in batches if necessary: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the steak will not cook evenly.
- Flip the steak halfway through cooking: This helps to ensure that the steak cooks evenly on both sides.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak: The internal temperature of the steak should be 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
- Let the steak rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
