With your air fryer now preheated, it is time to start cooking your steaks. Before we place them into the basket, use some cooking spray on your basket. Here we are using Canola oil but you can use whatever you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s half time and time for the flip…you can already see how beautifully they are cooking. Once we flip them, we will cook them for a further 6 minutes which delivers a ‘medium’ steak. Obviously, add some time if you want them ‘well done’ or take time away if you prefer your steaks rare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we go…air fryer steaks are ready. Simply remove from the basket and place on a warm plate. You need to let the meat rest for it to allow the juices to re-soak into the meat. It will leave your meat more tender and taste much better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For best results, cook your steak at 400F. You will need to preheat your air fryer for the best results. Starting to cook in a cold air fryer takes longer to cook and will result in uneven results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air fryer steak cooking times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this example, i cooked a medium sized steak to a medium cooking result. The total cooking time was 13 minutes…i flipped them over after 7 minutes. If your steak is large or thicker, you need to extend the cooking time by a couple of minutes…but you need to check the steak before you stop our air fryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
