Cook the steaks

  • Preheat the air fryer at 200C/400F for 10 minutes or 205C/420 for 6 minutes
  • Prepare the steak, make sure it has come to room temperature before cooking. Pat dry to remove excess moisture, season the steak generously with salt and pepper then rub oil on both sides of the steak.

  • Rub some oil on the air fryer basket, this is optional but I do it for good measure. Place the steak in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the desired doneness is achieved. Flip the steak halfway through cooking.
    Note: use a meat thermometer to check for the doneness on the steak
