Steps
- 1
Pull steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off.
- 2
Pat completely dry. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Flip and cook 5-7 more minutes: 6 min for medium-rare (130°F), 7 min for medium (140°F).
- 4
Top each steak with a pat of butter, rosemary, and smashed garlic. Rest 5 minutes — this is non-negotiable.
- 5
Slice against the grain and serve.
Tip: A meat thermometer is the only way to guarantee doneness. Pull steaks 5°F below target temp — they continue cooking during the rest. Dry surface = better crust.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 14 minutes vs ~25 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
