Air Fryer Top Sirloin Steak
Ingredients
- 1-2 top sirloin steaks, at least 1 inch thick for best results
- 1 tbsp olive oil or other high heat neutral flavored oil
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Take the steak or steaks out of the refrigerator at least 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the meat to warm up to room temperature before cooking. Preheat the air fryer as well, setting it to 400 degrees or a high heat setting
- Once the meat has reached room temperature, dab the surface of the meat with paper towels to dry it. Rub the surface of the steak with the olive oil, then sprinkle on the salt and pepper
- Add the seasoned steak to the preheated air fryer. Cook the steak for at least 10 minutes, checking the temperature at that point every two to three minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. Flipping is optional but not usually necessary. Take the steak out when the temperature reaches the right point and let it rest for 10 minutes under a tent of aluminum foil
