Salad

• Romaine Lettuce: Look no further than this steakhouse-style dish if you’re looking for a fresh, crunchy salad packed with flavor. I recommend substituting spinach or kale in place of the romaine if desired!
• Tomato: There is nothing like fresh ripe-vine tomatoes; some of my favorites are Roma or even Cherry Tomatoes.
• Onion: Use either sweet onion, Vidalia, or even red onions, the onions as a bit of crunch to the salad.
• Feta Cheese: There is nothing better than fresh crumbled feta cheese. It brings a genuine freshness to the recipe.
• Avocado: A great and healthy source of protein, it adds authentic flavor to the salad.
• Sirloin or Ribe Eye Steak: Both are flavorful cuts of meat that go well in a steak salad.
• Seasonings: Garlic Powder and Basil both add flavor to your steak.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Butter: Coats the steak in the air fryer and helps keep it tender and delicious.

Creamy Cilantro Dressing 

• Cilantro: This makes the dressing. There is nothing like fresh cilantro.
• Garlic: Adds a lot of flavors to the homemade salad dressing
• Lemon: Adds a great citrus
• Greek Yogurt: Makes this homemade cilantro dressing, really creamy
• Honey: Adds some sweetness and thickens the sauce up.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil Or Avocado Oil: Gives it the consistency of salad dressing.
• Sea Salt: Enhances the flavor.
• Ground Black Pepper: Adds some spice to the dressing.

How To Make Air Fryer Garlic Butter Steak Salad With Creamy Cilantro Dressing

Make The Steak: Preheating: Preheat the air fryer to 400 F | 200 C. Grease the basket or place parchment paper at the bottom.

Prepare The Steak: Marinate the steak. Add steak, salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and oil to a shallow bowl. Rub both sides of the steaks to marinate. Cover and set aside while the air fryer is heating. Place steak in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes.

Make The Dressing:  Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend or process until you get a creamy texture. Transfer in a bowl or a jar and refrigerate while preparing salad and steak.

Make The Salad: In a large salad bowl, add lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado. Set aside in the refrigerator while preparing the steak.

Plating The Steak Salad: Remove the steak, and place it on the salad with 1/2 teaspoon of butter—drizzle the salad with creamy cilantro dressing.

Pro Tips For Making The Best Air Fryer Steak Salad

Are you looking to make a delicious and healthy air fryer steak salad? Look no further! This recipe is simple to follow and yields a mouthwatering dish perfect for any occasion. Follow these pro tips to make sure your salad turns out just right.

Picking a Steak: If you’re looking for a salad packed with flavor and spice, then look no further! This one is sure to please any palate. You can swap in skirt steak or ribeye if your preference defaults more towards leaner meat; however, I think the classic version of this dish starts out best when using beef tenderloin (or flank).

Let the Steak Rest: To make the most of your steak, don’t cut into it before 10-15 minutes!

Customize Dressings: This salad has a built-in excuse to break out your favorite dressing! The ingredients go great with any flavor you’re craving, so feel free to mix up the flavors. You can also switch up what’s on top by using different dressings like honey balsamic, homemade blue cheese dressing, or even cilantro-lime sour cream crema, for some added nutrition that will leave everyone’s taste buds satisfied in more ways than one.

Adding Other Vegetables: This is one of my favorite salads. I love the mix of flavors and textures, including air fryer hard-boiled eggs or homemade air fryer croutons for added crunchiness!

Serve With: The side of salad alone is worth eating, but you can make it more filling by adding some Air Fryer Homemade Pull-Apart Rolls or even Air Fryer Frozen Breadsticks!

Storing Leftover Salad

When planning to make this salad ahead of time, don’t dress it until just before serving! The moisture from the dressing will cause your veggies and greens in the fridge to become soggy.

In The Refrigerator: Cover your salad bowl in plastic wrap and it will stay fresh for up to 5 days if you’ve added dressing, though it will only stay fresh for about a day.
