Equipment

Ingredients

2 sirloin steaks about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs optional, for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Steak:

Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps in even cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Season:

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of the steaks.

Preheat Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Cook the Steak:

Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.

Rest:

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the air fryer and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This helps redistribute the juices.

Serve:

Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your steak.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
Always use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
