Air-Fried Sirloin Steak with Thyme and Butter
Ingredients
- 2 350g ribeye steaks
- butter, (to preference, typically a small pat for each steak)
- fresh thyme sprigs
- maldon salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Allow the steaks to come to room temperature, which can help them cook more evenly. This usually takes about 30 minutes outside the fridge.
- Generously season both sides of each steak with maldon salt and freshly ground pepper. This not only enhances the flavour but also aids in creating a wonderful crust on the steak's exterior.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Ensure the basket is clean and free from any residue to prevent sticking.
- Place the ribeye steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring there's some space between them for even cooking. Top each steak with a knob of butter and a couple of thyme sprigs.
- Air fry the steaks for 10-12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking process (around the 5-6 minute mark), open the air fryer and carefully flip each steak to ensure even cooking on both sides. Close the air fryer and continue cooking.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a plate or cutting board. Let them rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a moist and flavourful bite.
