Steak in an air fryer?

[Kanoito]

I know a lot of spies here like to fire up their grill, smoker and make us drool with their creations.

The downside of living in the northern hemisphere is, well... it's still winter... cold and it's been raining for 3 weeks, so no chance to grill outside.

Have you guys tried cooking a steak in an air fryer? I think the only downside is you don't get the caramelization/searing that you would normally have on a grill cast iron skillet.

But would love to hear if other spies have tried it and if there are any special hints on how to make it even better (besides all the recipes that you can find on Google).

Why not buy a cheap cut and give it a shot?

Did a whole small chicken. Still got a little crust on it.

Fries are the best in these magical little friers.

But if it fails, I wouldn't know if it was the meat or the fryer

Yes, it does wonders for fries and chicken wings.

But when it comes to steak, you find more negative reviews on the net. Perhaps they are just grill snobs who can't accept anything besides coal and real fire.

Living in northern Iowa , my wife and I decided to give steaks in the air fryer a try. They were surprising delicious. You don’t get the grill marks as you said but didn’t bother me. I think the key to any steak is how you season and marinate it.

I simply marinated some sirloins with a little olive oil and seasoned them with lawrys and some beef seasoning I have.

Just think about that awesome crust, like a Pittsburgh style steak. Get creative and have fun with it. That’s what it’s all about!

Gonna try it this weekend and report back! Thanks guys!

Experimented with 2 pieces of sirloin, with butter, coarse salt and pepper. 200C for 10 minutes and it was a little overcooked. Next time I'm doing ribeye for more fatty deliciousness and just 5 mins.

The surface was caramelized enough. Would do it again!

Let us know how the ribeye makes out, less time of course.
I’m not sure of the air fryer for me as I like steaks rare but charred. BUT I’m open for new ideas.....especially food!

Here is the pic of the sirloin. It's not charred, but it wasn't the pale gray failure I was expecting. It had some crust and with the herbs and butter on top before air frying, it got a nice golden brown.

The best thing was not having to wipe the kitchen counter clean after cooking.

Your right not bad at all. We are eating less meat all the time it may be a way for us without a lot of hassle.
Pasta looks good

Here it is boneless ribeye in the fryer. Without pre-heating, it was 10 mins 1 200C. Kind of charred on the outside and still bloody tender inside. Without the cleaning.

Great job!
Our outdoor grill kinda gave up so a few months ago I put it the end of our driveway and just as I thought it disappeared.
We were looking for a new one but this air fryer thing may have some promise.

As a winter alternative, it's perfect. Downside is my fryer only fits 2 steaks.

But I'll always prefer the grill outside when the weather allows.

Ran out of propane last night and don't really feel like running 20 miles to get another tank so I'm trying some burgers in the air fryer. Hoping to have the same success as I did with my two attempts of steak.

Turned out amazing. The breakfast sausage patties I made afterwards for the week were great too except for all the smoke it created.

I've reheated them in there. But haven't cooked them.

I often cook steak in an air fryer. It creates extra flavor and a delicate texture to truly satisfy everyone in my family! You can make this a scrumptious meal with a Caesar Salad, Garlic Butter Green Beans, and a Perfect Baked Potato or Homemade Sweet Potato Fries. Just try it.

I've cooked steak in our air fryer, 3/4" thick for 5 minutes, then pan seared in my cast iron skillet for a couple of minutes.   Turned out pretty good.

I just tried it 2 days ago and the steak turned out perfectly cooked.  I did 4 mins then flipped it for another 4.  Perfectly medium rare.  But it didn't seem juicy...kinda dry.
