Air Fryer New York Strip
This air fryer strip steak delivers steakhouse-quality results right at home. It's perfectly seared, juicy, and ready in minutes.
Equipment
- air fryer
- instant-read thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 (12 oz) New York Strip Steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 Cloves Garlic, lightly smashed
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat them completely dry with paper towels on all sides - this is key for a good sear.
- Rub the steaks with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Season both steaks generously on all sides, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 3 minutes.
- Place the steaks in the air fryer basket with space between them. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, flipping once at the halfway mark. Use an instant-read thermometer and pull the steaks at 130 degrees F for medium-rare or 140 degrees F for medium.
- While the steaks cook during the final minutes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat with the fresh thyme sprigs and smashed garlic cloves. Cook for about 2 minutes until the butter is fragrant and just beginning to foam. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and immediately spoon the herb garlic butter over the top. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes. This rest period allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier steak.
- Slice the steaks against the grain if desired, or serve them whole. Spoon any collected resting juices from the board over the top before serving.
