Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Remove steaks from fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking for even results.
  2. Prepare compound butter if using; refrigerate until needed.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
  4. Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
  5. Place seasoned steaks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 13 minutes for medium-rare.
  6. 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.
