This is a great and easy meal. If you have not made steak in the air fryer it could not be easier, and tastier. For everyone who is afraid to make a steak, try it, once you make a steak, you will not cook it any other way. Today, I made a simple dinner of air fryer New York Strip Steaks with a Herb Compound Butter. (KETO and Low-Carb Friendly)

So, before we learn about how to air fry a perfect steak, let’s find out about this cut of meat if you are not familiar with it.

What is New York Strip Steak?

The New York Strip Steak is a cut of meat that is from the short loin, behind the ribs. Because the muscle is hardly used in the cow, this piece of meat is very tender. It is a good piece of meat because it is not too expensive and does not have a bone. Generally, they have a lot of marbling throughout the steak, which makes for a great tender dinner.

Easy Directions To Make This Steak Dinner in the Air Fryer–

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the butter, lemon juice, fresh herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Place the butter onto a piece of saran wrap and wrap tightly, into a log. Then place in the refrigerator for about an hour, before serving.

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and season with salt and pepper. Then let them rest for about 30 minutes, before you place them in the air fryer.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, for 5 minutes. Then add the steaks. Air fry for 5 minutes per each side.

Some Tips for Air Frying Steaks—

It is really important that you preheat your air fryer. If you do not have a preheat function on your air fryer. All you need to do is set the temperature to 400 degrees F, for 5 minutes. Then add your meat.
I either spray olive oil onto my steaks or rub them with melted butter, both really create a great flavor, while air frying.
Let your steaks get to room temperature, before air frying them, I find that about 30 minutes usually works.
Let your steaks rest after you get them out of the air fryer. This helps all of the juices go into the center.

The best way to really determine if your steak is done is to use a meat thermometer.

Simply insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Here is a chart that will help you–

Rare: 130 degrees F
Medium Rare: 135 degrees F
Medium: 145 degrees F
Medium Well: 150 degrees F
Well Done: 160 degrees F

Some Common Questions Asked About Air Frying Steaks-

How long does it usually take to cook a steak in the air fryer?

The true answer depends on how you like your steak cooked, medium rare will need less time then well done. So I find that 5 minutes on each side gives you about a medium rare, if you wnat it done be done, then add additional time.

Why Do I suggest letting it get to room temperature?

I find that if you let the steak become room temperature, the steak cooks more evenly.
