| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sirloin steaks | 2 (about 8 oz each) |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Optional seasonings | (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika) |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Steaks: Take 2 sirloin steaks, each about 8 oz, and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season the Steaks: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. You can also add optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the seasoned steaks and use your hands to rub it evenly onto the surface of the meat.
- Place in the Air Fryer: Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
- Cook the Steaks: Cook the steaks in the air fryer for 8-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness and the thickness of the steaks. For medium-rare, cook for 8-10 minutes; for medium, cook for 10-12 minutes.
- Flip Halfway Through: Halfway through the cooking time, flip the steaks using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Rest and Serve: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Slice and Enjoy: After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy the deliciousness
