Preparation: Remove the steak tips from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F (205°C) and let it preheat for about 2-3 minutes.
Arrange Steak Tips: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with a cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the steak tips in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. If you’re cooking a larger batch, you may need to cook them in multiple rounds.
Cooking: Air fry the steak tips at 40 degrees F for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. If you prefer your steak tips more well-done, add 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
Check Doneness: You can check the doneness by using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130-135°F (54-57°C), and for medium, aim for 140-145°F (60-63°C).
Rest and Serve: Once done, remove the steak tips from the air fryer and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even juicier.
Serve: Pair your Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips with your favorite sides, whether a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining juices over the steak for added flavor.
With the air fryer, you’re saving time and ensuring that your Trader Joe’s steak tips have that irresistible combination of a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Enjoy your meal!
Pro Tips For Cooking Trader Joe’s Balsamic Rosemary Steak Tips In Air Fryer
For a stellar culinary experience with Trader Joe’s Balsamic Rosemary Steak Tips using your air fryer, consider these pro tips:
- Even Cooking: To ensure uniform cooking, try to select steak tips that are similar in size and thickness. If there are variations, smaller or thinner pieces may require less cooking time.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Do not overload the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure that air can circulate freely around each steak tip.
- Temperature Check: Invest in a reliable instant-read thermometer. It takes the guesswork out of determining doneness, ensuring your steak tips are cooked to perfection.
- Marinade Matters: If your steak tips aren’t pre-marinated, consider marinating them for at least 1-2 hours before cooking. This will not only infuse them with flavor but also tenderize the meat.
- Rest Before and After Cooking: Allowing your steak tips to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking can result in more even cooking. Also, letting them rest for a few minutes after cooking ensures the juices are redistributed, making for a juicier bite.
- Customize Your Cook: Remember that air fryer models can vary in terms of power and heat distribution. The first time you cook your steak tips, keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time as needed for your specific appliance.
- Add-On Flavors: If you want an extra punch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper or a drizzle of high-quality balsamic reduction once the steak tips are done.
- Stay Clean: To minimize clean-up, you can line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper or a specially designed air fryer liner. However, never cover the steak tips directly, as this will obstruct the airflow.
- Crispy Finish: For an extra crispy exterior, lightly brush or spray the steak tips with some olive oil before air frying. This can help create a more seared appearance and texture.
By following these tips, you’re on your way to mastering the art of air frying Trader Joe’s Balsamic Rosemary Steak Tips. Happy cooking!
Frequently Asked Questions About Trader Joe’s Balsamic Rosemary Steak Tips
Can I use a different cut of beef if I don’t have steak tips?
Yes, you can use other cuts like sirloin or ribeye, but the cooking time might vary. Adjust accordingly and always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Do I need to thaw the steak tips if they’re frozen?
While you can cook from frozen, for the best results and even flavor penetration, it’s advisable to thaw the steak tips in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can replicate a similar result by pan-searing or grilling the steak tips. However, the cooking time and technique will differ.
How long can I marinate the steak tips?
If they aren’t pre-marinated, you can marinate the steak tips in the refrigerator for anywhere from 1-2 hours to overnight. Avoid marinating for too long as the acidic balsamic can start to break down the meat fibers excessively.

What’s the best side dish to serve with these steak tips?
The steak tips pair well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, quinoa salad, or a fresh green salad.
