    This is the Best Air Fryer Steaks Recipe ever!

    After a lot of trial and error, I have learned some tips which delivers perfectly juicy Air Fryer Steak every time!

    The Best Air Fryer Steaks ever!

    My recipe for Garlic Butter Air Fryer Steaks is loved by everyone.

    My husband loved this dish and its one of those dinners I cook for a fancy weekend dinner for the family and everyone loves this!

    Air Fryed Steaks

    I use 1-inch thick Sirloin for this recipe of Air Fryer Steaks.

    You can use thin Steaks as well, however, thinner steaks cook really quick in the air fryer getting browned quickly.

    Is Air Frying a Steak Good?

    Yes of course! You can make the best Steaks right in your Air Fryer.

    Perfectly cooked, juicy steaks which are browned on the outside come out perfectly in the air fryer!

    Garlic Butter Air Fryer Steaks

    I use Garlic Butter to brush over the Steaks before air frying which makes them immensely tasty and delicious!

    Also after they get cooked, I top with a slice of butter and that melty butter over perfect Air Fryed Steaks makes it one of the best meals ever!

    What to serve Air Fryed Steak with?

    I love to some my Garlic Butter Air Fryer Steaks aside of Garlic Mashed potatoes, because the Garlic flavor really compliments roasted Steaks.

    Also this Southern Buttermilk Ranch Mashed Potatoes is a fab combination with Steaks.

    Besides this you can serve with Garlic Butter Sauteed Green Beans or

    Creamy Garlic Parmesan Orzo or

    Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes or

    Creamed Broccoli with Crispy Bacon or

    [2-Ingredient] Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli or

    Brown Sugar Glazed Baby Carrots

    The Air Fryer Expert

    Be it Chicken or Salmon or Shrimps or Steaks, I love to use my Air Fryer for most of the recipes.

    And Air Fryer is not just for frying. Have you tried my Air Fryer Donuts or Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts to Air Fryer Corn on the Cob.

    Did you know that you can even reheat food in the Air Fryer? I do and its so easy to do.

    Ingredients needed to make Air Fryer Steaks

    • Steaks - Use lean Sirloin Steak or strip steaks or rib eye steaks (make sure its at least 1-inch thick)
    • Olive Oil - to brush over the Steaks
    • Melted Butter - Melted Unsalted Butter to brush over the steaks
    • Salt and Pepper - Use Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper to season the Steaks.

    GARLIC BUTTER

    • Softened Butter - I use Unsalted Butter because it gives you proper control over the amount of salt without turning Steaks to be too salty!
    • Garlic - I use freshly pressed Garlic
    • Lemon Juice - A bit of Lemon juice brings out the flavors of steaks so much better.
    • Freshly chopped Parsley - for a nice freshness
    • Italian Seasoning - for a nice herby taste to the butter.

    See recipe card for quantities.
