This Air Fryer Steak with Garlic Butter is a quick and flavorful way to enjoy perfectly cooked, tender striploin steaks. The steaks are seasoned and cooked in an air fryer to achieve a juicy interior with a beautifully seared crust, then topped with a rich garlic butter made from real butter, fresh garlic, and parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 striploin steaks, 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steaks: Pat the striploin steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub both sides of the steaks with canola oil, then generously season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and proper searing of the steaks.
  3. Cook the steaks: Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure there is space between them for air circulation. Cook for 6 minutes on one side, then flip the steaks and continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness. Adjust cooking time slightly if you prefer your steak more or less done.
  4. Make the garlic butter: While the steaks are cooking, combine the room temperature salted butter, finely minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the air fryer and place them on a plate. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender texture.
  6. Serve: Top each steak with a dollop of the prepared garlic butter while they are still warm so it melts perfectly over the meat. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a thicker or thinner steak, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Letting the steak rest after cooking is crucial for juicy results.
  • You can substitute canola oil with another high smoke point oil like avocado oil or grapeseed oil.
  • Garlic butter can be made ahead and refrigerated; just bring to room temperature before serving.
  • This recipe works well with other steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin.
