A quick and efficient way to cook a juicy and flavorful sirloin steak using an air fryer, ensuring minimal fuss and maximum taste.
Ingredients
Steak Ingredients
- 2 pieces sirloin steaks, about 1 inch thick
Marinade Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or your preferred herbs
- 1 sprig fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the sirloin steaks dry using paper towels to ensure a good sear.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and dried rosemary to make a marinade.
- Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the steaks and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cook the steaks for approximately 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping them halfway through.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.
Serving
- Remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest for about 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
- Slice against the grain, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve.
Notes
For an even more flavorful steak, consider marinating for several hours or overnight. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness.
