Recipe Details

This air fryer steak is surprisingly good, and it is a simple alternative to grilling or broiling.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, softened

• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 small clove garlic, pressed

• 1 heaping tablespoon parsley, chopped

• 2 teaspoons chopped chives (or a combination of fresh herbs)

• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Steak:

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds steak (1-inch-thick)

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (cracked or coarsely ground)

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Description

1. In a small bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, garlic, parsley, chives (or other fresh herbs), 1/8 teaspoon of pepper, and the Worcestershire sauce. Mix to blend thoroughly.
2. Place the butter and herb mixture on a small sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. Roll the paper to shape the mixture into a log. Put the herb butter in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the steak.
3. Set the air fryer to 400 F and preheat for 10 minutes. Rub the steak with olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of black pepper and kosher salt.
4. Place the steak in the air fryer basket and set the cook timer for 12 minutes. Turn the steak after 5 minutes and check the temperature with a digital thermometer after about 9 to 10 minutes.
