When you’re looking for a simple steak recipe, it’s hard to top making steak in the air fryer. Not only does the popular appliance take any guesswork out of the process\u2014like deciding whether to reverse sear\u2014but it also results in perfectly cooked meat in less than 10 minutes. Just add salt, pepper, and a little flavored butter and you’re ready to eat!<\/p>\n

While we still love to grill steak<\/a> or cook steak in a cast-iron pan<\/a>, it’s hard to pass up a method that’s as easy as air-fryer steak. Here’s everything you need to know to get your steak cooked to perfection in minutes.<\/p>\n

How long does it take to cook steak in an air fryer?<\/h2>\n

Cooking steak in an air fryer takes 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the level of doneness you prefer. For a medium-rare steak<\/a>, check on it after eight minutes. Wait another minute or two for medium or medium-well.<\/p>\n

We test a lot of air-fryer recipes (and air fryers<\/a>!) and find that air-fryer cooking times<\/a> vary dramatically between brands and models, so it may take some trial and error with your appliance to land on the exact right time. Some air fryers have a steak setting, but we don’t recommend using it. That setting doesn’t let you customize the cook time, and it may be calibrated for bone-in steaks, which take longer than boneless cuts.<\/p>\n

The best way to know when steak is ready is to use a meat thermometer to check if it reached a food-safe cooking temperature<\/a>.<\/p>\n
