  1. 1

    Take the steak out of the fridge while the air fryer preheats to 325°F.

  2. 2

    Place it in the basket in a single layer. No foil unless the food is saucy.

  3. 3

    Heat for 3 to 5 minutes, checking once at 3.

  4. 4

    Check that leftovers reach 165°F throughout with a food thermometer.

Worth knowing. Let it come to room temp for 15 minutes first. Finish with a 30-second 400°F sear if you want the crust back.
