Enjoy a perfectly cooked, juicy sirloin steak made in the air fryer, seasoned with sea salt and pepper, and finished with rich compound butter.
Ingredients
- 4 8-oz Top sirloin steaks
- 2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 recipe Compound butter
- 1 tablespoon (14g) of compound butter per steak
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
- Remove steaks from fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking for even results.
- Prepare compound butter if using; refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
- Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Place seasoned steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 13 minutes for medium-rare.
- Let steaks rest on a plate for 5 minutes, topped with compound butter, before slicing against the grain.
Notes
- For best results, let your sirloin steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Pat the steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels; this is crucial for achieving a good sear.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee your steak is cooked to your preferred doneness. The temperature will rise about 5°F as it rests.
- Allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
